4. Do not lean against the door or window. If your

vehicle has side air bags, and deployment occurs, the
side air bags will inflate forcefully into the space
between you and the door.

5. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be

modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact
the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided
under

؆If You Need Assistance؆.

WARNING!

Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more

severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, the air bags won’t deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belts even though you have
air bags.

WARNING! (Continued)

Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument

panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment
could cause serious injury, including death. Air
bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably
extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.

Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) also need room

to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window.
Sit upright in the center of the seat.

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer

much greater injuries if you are not properly buck-
led up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or
other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the
vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
