The front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag MAY DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate-to-severe impact (undercar-
riage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.
1- Collision with an elevated median/island
or kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and
hits the ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy in certain types of unex-
pected impacts as shown in the illustration
that can easily move you out of position, it is
important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a
safe distance from the steering wheel and in-
strument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can possibly
cause serious or fatal injuries if you contact it
at this stage.
WARNING
l
Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as badges or
accessories. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
l
Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove
box. It might strike and injure an occu-
pant if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
l
Do not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l
Do not attach accessories to the lower por-
tion of the driver’s side instrument panel.
Such objects could prevent the driver’s
knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled and cause serious in-
jury if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
l
Do not put packages, pets or other objects
between the airbags and the driver or
front passenger. It could affect airbag per-
formance, or could cause injury when the
airbag inflates.
