WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against
the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment
could
cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more

with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though you have Side Air
Bags.
