4. Do not lean against the door or window. If your
vehicle has side airbags, and deployment occurs, the
side airbags will inflate forcefully into the space be-
tween you and the door.

5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact
the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided
under

؆If You Need Assistance؆.

WARNING!

Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more

severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belts even though you have
airbags.

WARNING! (Continued)

Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument

panel during Advanced Front Airbag deployment
could cause serious injury, including death. Air-
bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably
extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.

Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain

(SABIC) and Seat-Mounted Side Airbags (SAB)
also need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of the
seat.

In an accident, you and your passengers can suffer

much greater injuries if you are not properly
buckled up. You can strike the interior of your
vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown
out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
