Supplementary Restraints System

The system consists of the following: • A label or embossed side panel indicating that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle. • Side airbags inside the driver and front passenger seatbacks. • Front passenger sensing system. ·Crash sensors and monitoring systemwith readiness indicator. See CrashSensorsandAirbag Indicator (page 44). The design and development of the side airbag system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of injuries related to the deployment of side airbags. DRIVER AND PASSENGER KNEE AIRBAGS WARNINGS To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the airbag. Close the glove box door when your vehicle is moving. Failure to follow this instruction could reduce the effectiveness of the passenger knee airbag and increase the risk of injury in a crash. A driver knee airbag is located under or within the instrument panel. A passenger knee airbag is located within or under the glove box door. During a crash, the restraints control modulemay activate the driver and passenger knee airbags based on crash severity and occupant conditions. Under certain crash and occupant E67017

conditions, the driver and passenger knee airbag may deploy but the driver front airbag may not activate. As with front and side airbags, it is important to be properly seated and restrained to reduce the risk of death or serious injury.

Make sure the knee airbags are operating properly. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator

E67017

(page 44).

Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash. Do not lean your head on the door. The curtain airbag could injure you as it deploys from the headliner. Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the supplementary restraint system or associated components. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death. All occupants of your vehicle, including the driver, should always properly wear their seatbelts, even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.
