The vehicles are equipped with a
Supplemental Air Bag System for the
driver’s seat and front passenger’s
seats. The front air bags are designed to supplement the three-point seat
belts. For these air bags to provide
protection, the seat belts must be
worn at all times when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed
in an accident if you are not wearing
a seat belt. Air bags are designed to
supplement seat belts, but do not
replace them. Also, air bags are not
designed to deploy in every collision.
In some accidents, the seat belts are
the only restraint protecting you.AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts Child Restraint Systems - every trip, every
time, everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if you are improperly belted or not wearing your
seat belt when the air bag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any Child Restraint System or booster seat in
the front passenger seat, unless the air bag is deactivated.
An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child causing serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the
safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older
must be seated in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during
an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact theoccupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.WARNING

Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s frontair bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating
positions. The SRS consists of air bags which are located in the center of the steer-ing wheel and the passenger's side
front panel pad above the glove box. The air bags are labeled with the let-
ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad
covers. The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the vehicle's driver and front passen-gers with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt systemalone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from inflating front
air bags, take the following pre-cautions:
Seat belts must be worn at alltimes to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags,
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle’s
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone.The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and point ofimpact. The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
side air bag, take the follo wing
precautions:
Seat belts must be worn at all times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
Do not allow passengers to lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.

Curtain air bags (if equipped)
Curtain air bags are located along
both sides of the roof rails above the
front and rear doors.They are designed to help protect theheads of the front seat occupantsand the rear outboard
seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions.

deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and impact.
The curtain air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impact situations.
(Continued)
Do not install any accessories on the side or near the side air
