Glass
The vehicle may be equipped with
Enhanced Technology Glass (ETG).
ETG is part of the overall occupant
protection system on passenger and
crew vans. ETG may help keep
passengers sitting next to these
fixed windows from being ejected
through the glass in some, but not
all crashes. Even with this glass,
seat belts must still be worn at all
times. For passenger and crew
vans, use only ETG glass approved
for the vehicle for replacement when
damaged.
The following table shows laminated
