DRIVER AND PASSENGER
KNEE AIRBAGS

WARNINGS

Keep the glove box door closed while
driving for optimal performance of
the passenger knee airbag during a

crash.

To reduce risk of injury, do not
obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the knee airbag.

A driver knee airbag is located under or
within the instrument panel. A passenger
knee airbag is located within the glove box
door. During a crash, the restraints control
module may activate the driver and
passenger knee airbags based on crash
severity and occupant conditions. Under
certain crash and occupant conditions, the
driver and passenger knee airbag may
deploy but the driver front airbag may not
activate. As with front and side airbags, it
is important to be properly seated and
restrained to reduce the risk of death or
serious injury.

Make sure the knee airbags are
operating properly. See Crash
Sensors and Airbag Indicator

(page 43).

SAFETY CANOPY™ - COUPE

WARNINGS

Do not place objects or mount
equipment on or near the headliner
at the siderail that may come into

contact with a deploying curtain airbag.
Failure to follow these instructions may
increase the risk of personal injury in the
event of a crash.

Do not lean your head on the door.
The curtain airbag could injure you
as it deploys from the headliner.

WARNINGS

Do not attempt to service, repair, or
modify the curtain airbags, its fuses,
the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the

headliner on a vehicle containing curtain
airbags as you could be seriously injured
or killed. Contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible.

All occupants of your vehicle
including the driver should always
wear their safety belts even when an

airbag supplemental restraint system and
curtain airbag is provided. Failure to
properly wear your safety belt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or death.

To reduce risk of injury, do not
obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the curtain

airbag.

If the curtain airbags have deployed,
the curtain airbags will not function
again. The curtain airbags (including

the A, B and C pillar trim and headliner)
must be inspected and serviced by an
authorized dealer. If the curtain airbag is
not replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The Safety Canopy will deploy during
significant side crashes or when a certain
likelihood of a rollover event is detected
by the rollover sensor. The Safety Canopy
is mounted to the roof side-rail sheet
metal, behind the headliner, above each
row of seats. In certain sideways crashes
or rollover events, the Safety Canopy will
be activated, regardless of which seats are
occupied. The Safety Canopy is designed
to inflate between the side window area
and occupants to further enhance
protection provided in side impact crashes
and rollover events.
