sliding under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder
belt.

Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument
panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides enhanced
protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and
Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!

the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG
label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithSupplementalSideAirBagInflatableCurtains(SABICs)located
above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in certain side impact events.
•TheSABICsandSABs(“SideAirBags”)aredesignedtoactivateincertainsideimpactsand

deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event is appropriate,
based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of
whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
