problem. Apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. Never 
pump the brake pedal.

lever up to the unlock position.
Why do the doors lock 
after I unlocked the doors?If you do not open the doors within 30 seconds, the doors are 
relocked automatically for security.

uuAirbags uSide Curtain Airbags
Safe Driving
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help  protect the heads of the driver and passengers in the 
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 airbag is designed to deploy 
in a rollover or a moderate-to-severe side 
impact.
■Housing Locations
1Side Curtain Airbags
If the SRS control unit sens es that your vehicle is 
about to rollover, it imme diately 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 deploys even if there 
are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protecti on from the side curtain 
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts 
properly and sit upr ight 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.

as dried grass and leaves th at have fallen or have 
been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal. 
Also check under the hood fo r leftover flammable 
materials after you or so meone else has performed
