Air bag – supplemental restraint system
• For cleaning the air bag pad covers, use only a soft, dry cloth or one which has been
moistened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the air bag
covers and proper deployment of the system.
• If equipped with rollover sensor
◦ The air bags inflate instantly in the event of a rollover (if equipped with a side air
bag or curtain air bag) in order to help protect the occupants from serious physi
cal injury.
◦ The side and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when a rollover is detected
by a rollover sensor. The air bags may inflate in a rollover, when it is detected by
the rollover sensor.
◦ Although the front air bags (driver's and front passenger's air bags) are designed
to inflate only in frontal collisions, they also may inflate in other types of collisions
if the front impact sensors detect a sufficient impact. Side air bags (side and/or
curtain air bags) are designed to inflate only in side impact collisions, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side impact sensors detect a sufficient impact. For
instance, side airbag and curtain air bags may inflate if rollover sensors indicate
the possibility of a rollover occurring (even if none actually occurs) or in other situ
ations, including when the vehicle is tilted whilst being towed. Even if side and/or
curtain air bags do not provide impact protection in a rollover, they will deploy to
prevent ejection of occupants, especially those who are restrained with seat belts.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or objects on unimproved roads or
sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on sur
faces not designed for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended air bag deployment.
◦ When the passenger's front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the ON position, the
passenger's front air bag is activated and child or infant seat should not be in
stalled on the front passenger's seat.
◦ When the passenger's front air bag ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF position, the
passenger's front air bag is deactivated.
• If not equipped with rollover sensor
◦ The side and/or curtain air bags may inflate when the vehicle is rolled over by a
side impact collision, if the vehicle is equipped with side air bags and curtain air
bags.
