THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Front airbags, along with seat belts, and front seat belt
pretensioners, work with the instru ment panel knee
blockers to provid e improved protection for the driver
and front passenger. Left and right wind ow bags 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 dam-
age 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 de-
sign 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 in moderate to
severe frontal collisions.

If you r veh icle is equipped with left and righ t
window bags, do not stack luggage or oth er cargo
up high enough to block the location of the sid e
curtain airb ag. The area where the sid e curtain
airb ag is located should rem ain free from any
obstru ction s.
NOTE: If equ ipped with an Occupant Classification
System (OCS), the passenger front airbag may not deploy
even when the driver front airbag has determ ined the
seat is empty or is occupied by a child .
If you r veh icle is equipped with left and righ t
window bags, do not have any accessory item s
installed which will alter the roof, including add-
ing a sunroof to you r veh icle. Do not add roof rack s
that req uire perm anent attach ments (bolts
screw s) for installation on the veh icle roof. Do not
drill into the roof of the veh icle for any reason .
If you r vehicle is so equ ipped, the wind ow bag on the
crash side of the vehicle is triggered in moderate to
severe side collisions. But even in collisions where the
airbags inflate, you need the seat belts to keep you in the
right position for the airbags to protect you prop erly.
