Side impact air bag
(if equipped)
The purpose of the air bag is to pro-
vide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional pro-
tection than that offered by the seat
belt alone.
The side impact air bags are
designed to deploy only during cer-
tain side-impact collisions, depend-
ing on the crash severity, angle,
speed and point of impact. The side
air bags are not designed to deploy
in all side impact situations.
WARNING
•
The side impact air bag is
supplemental to the driver's
and the passenger's seat belt
systems and is not a substi-
tute for them. Therefore your
seat belts must be worn at all
times while the vehicle is in
motion. The air bags deploy
only in certain side impact or
rollover* conditions severe
enough to cause significant
injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
For best protection from the
side impact air bag system
and to avoid being injured by
the deploying side impact air
bag, both front seat occupants
should sit in an upright posi-
tion with the seat belt properly
fastened. The driver's hands
should be placed on the steer-
ing wheel at the 9:00 and 3:00
positions. The passenger's
arms and hands should be
placed on their laps.
The side impact air bags do not only
deploy on the side of the impact but
also on the opposite side.

curtain air bags.
