him/herself off the seat cushion using the armrest in the door or the center  console, by pressing the feet on the floor,
by sitting  on the edge of the seat cushion, or by pressing against the backrest in a  way that reduces pressure on the
seat cushion. This could cause OWS to disable the front  passenger's  side airbag.
 Do not place any  type of object  on the front  passenger's  seat in such a  way that jamming, pressing, or squeezing
occurs between the object  and  the front  seat, other than as a  direct result of the correct use of the ALR/ELR seat belt
(see page 30
).
 No objects should be  placed under the front  passenger's  seat. This could interfere  with the OWS system's
function.

Side impact (SIPS) airbags
Side impact  airbags - front seats only
As an  enhancement to the structural side impact protection built into your vehicle, the vehicle is also equipped with
Side Impact Protection System  (SIPS) airbags.
The SIPS  airbag system is designed to help increase occupant protection in the event of certain side impact collisions.
The SIPS  airbags are designed to deploy only during certain side-impact collisions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and  point of impact.
NOTE:  SIPS  airbag deployment (one airbag) occurs only on the side of the vehicle affected by the impact. The airbags
are not designed to deploy in all side impact situations.
Components in the SIPS airbag system
This SIPS  airbag system consists of gas generators and  side airbag modules built into the outboard sides of both front
