If it is necessary to modify the air bag sys tem for persons with disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru-
ment panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pre-
tensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause t he air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) loca ted in
the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIR-
BAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs) lo-
cated above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in cer tain side impact events.
The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the
Side Air Bags in a particular impact event is appropriate, based on the severity and type
of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air
Bags should have deployed.
