Knowing your vehicle

Driver’s air bag

The driver’s air bag is stored in the
center of the steering wheel.

Front passenger’s air bag

Front passenger’s air bag is stored in
the instrument panel on the glove
box.
Since you cannot anticipate which air
bags will deploy or from what direc-
tion, never put any objects or orna-
ments on the instrument panel.

WARNING

• You must always sit as far

back from the steering wheel
air bag as possible (chest at
least 250 mm (10 inches) away
from the steering wheel), while
still maintaining a comfortable
seating position for good
vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury or
death in a collision.

• Never place objects over the

air bag storage compartments
or between the air bags and
yourself. Due to the speed and
force of the air bag inflation,
such objects could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and even
death.

• Do not put stickers or orna-

ments on the steering wheel
cover. These may interfere
with the deployment of the air
bag.
