The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that
something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were
not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed
to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or
near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral
deceleration.

Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. Do not
touch them after inflation.

If the side airbag has
deployed, the airbag will

not function again. The side
airbag system (including the
seat) must be inspected and
serviced by an authorized
dealer .
If the airbag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a
collision.

Safety Canopy™ system

Do not place objects or
mount equipment on or

near the headliner at the siderail
that may come into contact with a
deploying Safety Canopy™.
Failure to follow these instructions
may increase the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision.

Do not lean your head on the door. The Safety Canopy™ could
injure you as it deploys from the headliner.
