Airbag system 
& WARNING 
Objects  between  you  and  the  airbag  will  in
crease  the  risk  of  injury  in a  crash  by interfer 
ing  with  the  way  the  airbag  unfolds  and/or  by 
being  pushed  into you  as  the  airbag  inflates. 
-Always  make  sure  nothing  is  in the  front  air -
bag  deployment  zone  that  could  be  struck 
by the  airbag  when  it inflates . 
- Objects  in the  zone  of  a  deploying  airbag 
can  become  projectiles  when  the  airbag  de
ploys  and  cause  serious  personal  injury. 
- Never  hold  things  in your  hands  or  on  your 
lap  when  the  vehicle  is in  use . 
- Never  place  accessories  or  other  objects 
(such  as  cup  holders, telephone  brackets, 
note  pads,  navigation  systems,  or  things 
that  are  large, heavy,  or  bulky)  on  the  doors; 
never  attach  then  to  the  doors  or  the  wind
shield;  never  place  them  over  or  near  or  at
tach  them  to  the  area  marked  ,,AIRBAG" on 
the  steering  wheel,  instrument  panel  or  the 
seat  backrests;  never  place  them  between 
these  areas  and  you  or  any  other  person  in 
the  vehicle. 
- Never  attach  objects  to  the  windshield 
above  the  passenger  front  airbag,  such  as 
accessory  GPS navigation  units  or  music 
players . Such  objects  could  cause  serious  in
jury  in  a collision , especially  when  the  air
bags  inflate . 
- Never  recline  the  front  passenger  seat  to 
transport  objects.  Items can  also  move  into 
the  deployment  area  of  the  side  airbags  or 
the  front  airbag  during  breaking  or  in a  sud
den  maneuver.  Objects  near  the  airbags  can 
fly dangerously  through  the  passenger  com
partment  and  cause  injury,  particularly 
when  the  seat  is reclined  and  the  airbags  in
flate. 
& WARNING 
A person  on  the  front  passenger  seat,  espe cially  infants  and  small  children,  will  receive 
serious  injuries  and  can  even  be  killed  by  be
ing  too  close  to  the  airbag  when  it  inflates. 
-Although  the  Advanced  Airbag  System  in 
your  vehicle  is designed  to  turn  off  the  front 
140 
-
passenger  airbag  if an  infant or  a  small  child 
is on  the  front  passenger  seat,  nobody  can 
absolutely  guarantee  that  deployment  un
der  these  special  conditions  is impossible  in 
all  conceivable  situations  that  may  happen 
during  the  useful  life  of  your  vehicle . 
- The  Advanced  Airbag  System  can  deploy  in 
accordance  with  the  ,,low risk"  option  for  3-
and  6-year-old  children  under  the  U .S . Fed
eral  Standard  if a  child  with  electrical  capac
itance  greater  than  the  combined  capaci
tance  of  a  typical  one-year  old  infant  re
strained  in one  of  the  forward  facing  or  rear
ward-facing  child  seats  with  which  your  ve
hicle  was  certified  is on  the  front  passenger 
seat  and  the  other  conditions  for  airbag  deployment  are  met . 
- Accident  statistics  have  shown  that  children 
are  generally  safer  in the  rear  seat  area  than 
in the  front  seating  position . 
- For their  own  safety,  all  children,  especially 
12  years  and  younger,  should  always  ride  in 
the  back  properly  restrained  for  their  age 
and  size. 
Advanced front  airbag  system 
Your vehicle  is equipped  with  a front  Advanced 
Airbag  System  in compliance  with  United  States 
Federal  Motor Vehicle  Safety  Standard  208, as 
well  as  Canada  Motor  Vehicle  Safety  Standard 
(CMVSS) 208  as  applicable  at  the  time  your  vehi
cle was  manufactured. 
The  front  Advanced  Airbag  System  supplements 
the  safety  belts  to  provide  additional  protection 
for  the  driver's  and  front  passenger's  heads  and  upper  bodies  in frontal  crashes.  The airbags  in
flate  only  in frontal  impacts when  the  vehicle  de 
celeration  is high  enough. 
The  front  Advanced  Airbag  System  for  the  front 
seat  occupants  is not  a substitute  for  your  safety  belts.  Rathe r,  it  is part  of  the  overall  occupant  re
straint  system  in your  vehicle . Always  remember 
that  the  airbag  system  can  only  help  to  protect 
you,  if you  are  sitting  upright,  wearing  your  safe 
ty  belt  and  wearing  it  properly . This  is why you 
and  your  passengers  must  always  be  properly  .,.
