If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision.

Knee Airbag (if equipped)

The knee airbag is located under the instrument panel. The system
works along with the driver’s front airbag to help reduce injury to the
legs. When the driver’s airbag activates in a collision, the knee airbag
deploys from under the instrument panel. As with front and side airbags,
it is important to be properly seated and restrained to reduce the risk of
death or serious injury.

Seat-mounted side airbag system

WARNING: Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near
the airbag cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or

in front seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag.
Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal
injury in the event of a collision.

WARNING: Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of
accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the side

airbags and increase the risk of injury in an accident.

WARNING: Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag
could injure you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the
airbag SRS, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an

airbag. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle should always wear
their safety belts even when an airbag SRS is provided.
