 Information
The information provided may differ  
depending on which functions are 
applicable to your vehicle.
Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting  
in a safe and comfortable position plays 
an important role for the safety of the 
driver and passengers, as much as seat 
belts and air bags when in an accident. 
 WARNING
Do not use a cushion that reduces  
friction between the seat and the 
passenger. The passenger’s hips may 
slide under the lap portion of the seat 
belt during an accident or a sudden 
stop. 
Serious or fatal internal injuries could  
result because the seat belt cannot 
operate properly. Air bags 
You can take steps to reduce the risk  
of being injured by an inflating air bag. 
Sitting too close to an air bag greatly 
increases the risk of injury in the event 
the air bag inflates. Move your seat as 
far back as possible from front air bags, 
while still maintaining control of the 
vehicle.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions: •	 Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the  
rear as possible maintaining the 
ability to control the vehicle.
•	 Adjust the front passenger seat as far 
to the rear as possible.
•	 Hold the steering wheel by the rim 
with hands at the 9 o’clock and 3 
o’clock positions to minimize the risk 
of injuries to your hands and arms.
•	 NEVER place anything or anyone 
between you and the air bag.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger to 
place feet or legs on the dashboard 
to minimize the risk of leg injuries.

Side air bags (if equipped)
Side air bag
ONE1031053N
ONE1031054N
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 collisions, 
depending on the crash severity, angle, 
speed and point of impact. 
The side air bags on both sides of the  
vehicle are designed to deploy when a 
rollover is detected by a rollover sensor. 
(if equipped with rollover sensor) 
The side air bags are not designed to  
deploy in all side impact or rollover 
situations. The side air bags are designed to deploy during certain side impact collisions, 
depending on the crash severity. 
For vehicles equipped with a rollover  sensor the side and/or curtain air bags 
and pre-tensioners on both sides of 
the vehicle may deploy if a rollover or 
possible rollover is detected. 
The side air bags are not designed to  
deploy in all side impact or rollover 
situations.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating side air bag, 
take the following 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.
•	 Hold the steering wheel at the 9 
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to 
minimize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
•	 Do not use any accessory seat 
covers. This could reduce or prevent 
the effectiveness of the system.
•	 Do not hang other objects except 
clothes. In an accident it may cause 
vehicle damage or personal injury 
especially when air bag is inflated.   

Seats & Safety System

•	
In addition to inflating in serious side  
collisions, vehicles equipped with a 
rollover sensor, side and/or curtain air 
bags will inflate if the sensing system 
detects a rollover. 
When a rollover is detected, curtain  
air bags will remain inflated longer to 
help provide protection from ejection, especially when used in conjunction 
with the seat belts. (if equipped with a 
rollover sensor)
•	 To help provide protection, the air 
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed 
of air bag inflation is a consequence 
of extremely short time in which 
to inflate the air bag between the 
occupant and the vehicle structures 
before the occupant impacts those 
structures. This speed of inflation 
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a 
necessary part of air bag design. 
However, the rapid air bag inflation  can also cause injuries which can 
include facial abrasions, bruises and 
broken bones because the inflation 
speed also causes the air bags to 
expand with a great deal of force.
•	 There are even circumstances under 
which contact with the air bag can 
cause fatal injuries, especially if the 
occupant is positioned excessively 
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk 
of being injured by an inflating air bag. 
The greatest risk is sitting too close to the air bag. An air bag needs about 10 
in. (25 cm) of space to inflate. NHTSA 
recommends that drivers allow at least 
10 in. (25 cm) between the center of the 
steering wheel and the chest.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or  
death from an inflating air bag, take the 
following precautions: •	 NEVER place a child restraint in the  
front passenger seat. 
Always properly restrain children  
under age 13 in the rear seats of the 
vehicle.
•	 Adjust the front passenger’s and 
driver's seats as far to the rear as 
possible while allowing you to 
maintain full control of the vehicle.
•	 Hold the steering wheel with 
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
•	 Never place anything or anyone 
between the air bag and the seat 
occupant.
•	 Do not allow the front passenger 
to place their feet or legs on the 
dashboard.
