When not using the LATCH system, all

child restraints must be secured to a

vehicle rear seat with the lap part of a

lap/shoulder belt.

WARNING

ALWAYS place a rear-facing child

restraint in the rear seat of the vehicle.

Placing a rear-facing child restraint in

the front seat can result in serious injury

or death if the child restraint is struck

by an inflating air bag.

This vehicle is equipped with an Advanced Supplemental Air Bag System for the

driver’s seat and front passenger’s seats.

The front air bags are designed to supplement the three-point seat belts. For these air

bags to provide protection, the seat belts must be worn at all times when driving.

You can be severely injured or killed in an accident if you are not wearing a seat belt.

Air bags are designed to supplement seat belts, but do not replace them. Also, air bags

are not designed to deploy in every collision. In some accidents, the seat belts are the

only restraint protecting you.

WARNING

AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, everyone! Even

with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if you are improperly

belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air bag inflates.

NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front passenger seat.

An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child causing serious or fatal

injuries.

ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest place

for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seated in the front

seat, he or she must be properly belted and the seat should be moved as far back as

possible.

All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position, centered

on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably extended and their

feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and is turned off. If an occupant is out of

position during an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the

occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.

You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bags

or lean against the door or center console.

Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still maintaining

control of the vehicle. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA) recommends that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the

center of the steering wheel and the chest.

Where are the Air Bags?

 'ULYHUŔV IURQW DLU EDJ

Driver’s and passenger’s front air

bags

Your vehicle is equipped with an

Advanced Supplemental Restraint

System (SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at

both the driver and passenger seating

positions.

The SRS consists of air bags which are

located in the center of the steering

wheel, in the driver’s side lower crash

OCN7030036

pad below the steering wheel column

 3DVVHQJHUŔV IURQW DLU EDJ

and the passenger’s side front panel pad

above the glove box.

The air bags are labeled with the letters

“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.

OCN7030038

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the

vehicle’s driver and front passengers with

additional protection than that offered

by the seat belt system alone. The SRS

uses sensors to gather information about

the driver’s and front passenger’s seat

belt usage and impact severity. The seat

belt buckle sensors determine if the

driver and front passenger’s seat belts

are fastened. These sensors provide the

ability to control the SRS deployment

based on whether or not the seat belts

are fastened, and how severe the impact

is. The advanced SRS offers the ability to

control the air bag inflation within two

levels. A first stage level is provided for

moderate-severity impacts. A second

stage level is provided for more severe

impacts. According to the impact

severity, and seat belt usage, the SRS

Control Module (SRSCM) controls the

air bag inflation. Failure to properly

wear seat belts can increase the risk or

severity of injury in an accident.

Side air bags

WARNING

 )URQW VHDW

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from inflating front air bags, take

the following precautions:
