Advanced Front Air Bags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a supple-
ment to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in every type
of collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the
seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or
rollover collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may
produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and
angle offset collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air Bags may
deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by
themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help keep you
in position, away from an inf lating air bag.
After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision,
the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
