Bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. The air bags then quickly
deflate while helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the
knees of the driver and front passenger, and
position the front occupants for improved inter-
action with the Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way
•Do not mount any accessories to the knee
impact bolsters such as alarm lights, ste-
reos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of side
air bags:
1.Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SABs): Located in the outboard
side of the front seats. The SABs aremarked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIR-
BAG” label sewn into the outboard side
of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of
occupant injury during certain side impacts
and/or vehicle rollover events, in addition to the
injury reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on
the outboard side of the seatback’s trim cover.
The inflating SAB deploys through the seat
seam into the space between the occupant and
the door. The SAB moves at a very high speed
and with such a high force that it could injure
occupants if they are not seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where the SAB
inflates. Children are at an even greater risk of
injury from a deploying air bag.WARNING!
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.
2.Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABICs): Located above the side
windows. The trim covering the SABICs
is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.”

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the
vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with ElectronicBrake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of
an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn
on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair
to the ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two sec-
onds. The light should then turn off unless the
parking brake is applied or a brake fault isdetected. If the light does not illuminate, have
the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake
is applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.
Vehicle Security Warning Light — If Equipped
Red Telltale Light What It Means
Vehicle Security Warning Light — If Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle security alarm is arming, and then will
flash slowly until the vehicle is disarmed.
