Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important and operatin\
g this vehicle
safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed 
decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the 
hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore, you must 
use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them.
Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help 
to keep you and your passengers safe.
Important Safety Precautions • 
Always wear your seat belt.
•  Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
• 
Be aware of airbag hazards.
• Don’t drink and drive.
•  Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
•  Control your speed.
•  Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying 
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead \
to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe 
to divert some attention away from driving.
Safety Messages
When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close att\
ention.
You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow    
instructions.
You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow    
instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your
vehicle, other property, or the environment.

SAFETYSAFETY
Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a front 
passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in th\
e
outside edge of the driver’s and front passenger’s seat-backs. Both are marked 
SIDE AIRBAG.
Side Curtain Airbags
Side curtain airbags help protect the head and torso of the driver and passengers 
in outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The \
side
curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the 
likelihood of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through\
side
windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling 
above the side windows on both sides of the 
vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy 
in a rollover or moderate-to-severe side impact.
If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is 
about to roll over, it immediately deploys both side 
curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt 
tensioners. If the impact is on the passenger’s side, 
the passenger’s side curtain airbag will inflate even 
if there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear 
their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars, as they can interfere 
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled 
frontal collision. In this case, the side curtain airbags will deploy slightly after the 
front airbags.
Side curtain airbag storage
Deployed side curtain airbag
Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the 
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A front 
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible. 
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp object in 
your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers. Objects on the covers 
marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or be 
propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag inflates.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers. This can prevent your side
airbags from properly deploying during a side impact. 
An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash, 
even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always
 keep the glove box closed while driving.
WARNING
Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a 
message appears on the multi-information display*.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) Indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other time besides 
vehicle start-up, or does not come on at all, have the
system checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If 
you don’t, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may 
not work properly when they are needed.
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag 
systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have
 your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS 
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
