* The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
Side impact and/or curtain air bags
Side impact and/or curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision
sensors depending on the strength,
speed or angles of impact resulting
from a side impact collision. Also, the side impact and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sen-
sor.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal col-
lisions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side impact and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate only in side
impact collisions or rollovers. But
they may inflate in other type of colli-
sions or similar rollover situations,
including when the vehicle is tilted
such as being towed if the side
impact sensors or rollover sensor
detect a sufficient impact or rollover.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on
surfaces not designed for vehicle
traffic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
C040802AUN
Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro-
tection of the seat belts in such col-
lisions.

ing 5 times, your transponder

ple “2”), turn the ignition switch to
the ON and ACC position twice.

times).
4.If all of the digits have been input successfully, you have to start the
engine within 30 seconds. If you
attempt to start the engine after 30
seconds, the engine will not start
