WARNING
When returning the rear seatback from
a folded to an upright position, hold the
seatback and return it slowly. Ensure
that the seatback is completely locked
into its upright position by pushing on
the top of the seatback. In an accident
or sudden stop, an unlocked seatback
could allow cargo to move forward with
great force and enter the passenger
compartment, which could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Do not place objects in the rear seats,
since they cannot be properly secured
and may hit vehicle occupants in a
collision causing serious injury or death.
WARNING
Make sure the vehicle is off, the shift
button is in P (Park), and the parking
brake is securely applied whenever
loading or unloading cargo. Failure
to take these steps may allow the
vehicle to move if the shift button
is inadvertently moved to another
position.
Armrest (if equipped)
OCN7030066LOCN7030066L
The armrest is located in the center of
the rear seat. Pull the armrest down from
the seatback to use it.
Head Restraints
The vehicle’s front and rear seats
have adjustable head restraints. The
head restraints provide comfort for
passengers, but more importantly they
are designed to help protect passengers
from whiplash and other neck and spinal
injuries during an accident, especially in
a rear impact collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death in an accident, take the following
precautions when adjusting your head
restraints:
• Always properly adjust the head
restraints for all passengers BEFORE
starting the vehicle.
• NEVER let anyone ride in a seat
with the head restraints removed or
reversed.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating curtain air bag,
take the following precautions:
• All seat occupants must wear
seat belts at all times to help keep
occupants positioned properly.
• Properly secure child restraints as far
away from the door as possible.
• Do not place any objects over the air
bag. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar, roof side rail.
• Do not hang other objects except
clothes, especially hard or breakable
objects. In an accident, it may cause
vehicle damage or personal injury.
• 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.
• Do not open or repair the side curtain
air bags.
How Does the Air Bag System
Operate?
OCN7030061NOCN7030061N
The SRS consists of the following
components:
1. Driver’s front air bag module
2. Passenger’s front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules (front)
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM) /
Rollover sensor
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors (acceleration)
10. Side impact sensors (pressure)
11. Occupant classification system
12. Driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belt buckle sensors
The SRSCM (Supplemental Restraint
System Control Module) continually
monitors all SRS components while
the Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position or approximately within
3 minutes after the ignition is off to
determine if a crash impact is severe
enough to require air bag deployment or
pre-tensioner seat belt deployment.
