SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front passenger
as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front Air Bags will
not deploy in every type of collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supple-
menting the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several factors,
including the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected
to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to
protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to
provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced
Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflation Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Supplemental Side Air bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or
window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
