Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along
with seat belts, and pretensioners, front airbags work
with the instru ment panel knee blockers to provid e
improved protection for the driver and front passenger. 2
Left and right side curtain airbags also work with seat
belts to improve occupant protection.
WARN ING!

Do not put anyth ing on or arou nd the airb ag covers
or attem pt to manually open them. You may damage
the airb ags and you could be injured becau se the
airb ags are not there to protect you . These protective
covers for the airb ag cushion s are design ed to open
only when the airb ags are inflatin g.
The seat belts are designed to protect you in many typ es
of collisions. The front airbags deploy only in moderate
to severe frontal collisions. If you r vehicle is equ ipped,
the side curtain airbag on the crash side of the vehicle is
triggered in moderate to severe side collisions. In certain
typ es of collisions where the airbags deploy, you need the
seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags
to protect you prop erly.
