types of crashes, all occupants includ

ing the driver should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an air
bag is also provided at their seating
position to minimise the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a crash.
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close
to the air bag whilst the vehicle is in
motion.
僅 Sitting improperly or out of position
can result in serious or fatal injury in a
crash. All occupants should sit upright
with the seat back in an upright posi

their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor

Side air bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat.
* The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front pas

senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to deploy
only during certain side-impact colli

sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and point of impact. The
side air bags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.
Do not allow the passengers to lean their
heads or bodies onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms out
of the window, or place objects between
the doors and passengers when they are
seated on seats equipped with side and/
or curtain air bags.
僅 The side air bag is supplemental to
the driver's and the passenger's seat
belt systems and is not a substitute
for them. Therefore your seat belts
must be worn at all times whilst the
vehicle is in motion. The air bags
deploy only in certain side impact
conditions severe enough to cause
