Advanced Front Air Bags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both t he driver and front passenger as a
supplement to t he seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not de-
ploy 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 t he 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 un-
derrides, 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 se-
vere initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and dam-
age by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have de-
ployed.
Seat bel ts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help
keep you in position, away from an inflating 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.
If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons wit h disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer.

Your Vehicle” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
