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
Curtains (SABICs).Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the deployment of the SABICs.The trim covering above the side windows where
the SABIC and its deployment path are located should remain free from any ob-
structions.
•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.
Enhanced Accident Response System

strument cluster.The vehicle is not drivable in this state and must be towed to an autho-
rized dealer immediately to be inspected and have the Enhanced Accident Response Sys-
tem reset.

Memory Feature
Both front seats have a memory feature, which can operate in two ways:
Memory Function Option 1 — Full Seat Back And Track Fore/Aft Position Memory:
After using the EZ entry function, the seatback angle and the Track fore/aft adjuster can
both re-lock into the position they were most recently adjusted to.This is accomplished if
the seat is moved fully rearward to its last fore/aft position on the tracks before the seat
back is returned upright.
Memory Function Option 2 — Seat Back Only Memory:
After using the EZ entry function, the seat back may first be returned upright prior to
going back to the last fore/aft (memory) position on the tracks.This results in the seat
back memory being set only – The track will then be locked forward of its last set fore/
aft memory position.To then reset the fore/aft track memory feature (to reestablish
Memory Function Option 1), the seat has to be returned fully rearward to its last fore/
aft memory track position as described in Memory Function Option 1.
