Seat belts (and child restraints where appropriate) are

necessary for your protection in all collisions. They also

help keep you in position, away from inflating Side Air

Bags. To get the best protection from the Side Air Bags,

occupants must wear their seat belts properly and sit

upright with their backs against the seats. Children must

be properly restrained in a child restraint or booster seat

that is appropriate for the size of the child.

WARNING!

Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean

against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.

Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deploy-

ment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.

Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to

more severe injuries in a collision. The Side Air
Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, Side Air Bags won’t
deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even
though you have Side Air Bags.

NOTE:

Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior

trim, but they will open during air bag deployment.
Side Impacts

In side impacts, the side impact sensors aid the ORC in

Side Air Bag occupant protection. In side impacts, the

Side Air Bags deploy independently; a left side impact
