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.
•No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
•This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located
in 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.
•This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (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 cer tain side impact events.
•The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts
and certain rollover events (if equipped with rollover sensing).The Occupant Restraint
Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a
particular side impact or rollover event (if equipped with rollover sensing) is appropri-
ate, based on the severity and type of collision.Ve h i c l e d a m a g e b y i t s e l f i s n o t a g o o d
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.
•Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
•Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some colli-
sions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all.Always wear your seat belt even though
you have Side Air Bags.
•This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABICs).Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the de-
ployment of the SABICs.The trim covering above the side windows where the SABIC
and its deployment path are located should remain free from any obstructions.
•This vehicle is equipped with SABICs.In order for the SABICs to work as in-
tended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof.Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle.Do not add roof racks
that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof.Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
•Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems.This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

•For additional information, refer to www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.
•Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa-
tion: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm
