WARNING!

Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean

against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.

Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deploy-

ment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.

Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to

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

NOTE:

Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior

trim, but they will open during air bag deployment.

If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to deflate

immediately after deployment.
NOTE:

Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all

collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with

the air bag system.
If you do have a collision, which deploys the air bags, any

or all of the following may occur:

• The air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions

and/or skin reddening to the occupants as the air bags

deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to fric-

tion rope burns or those you might get sliding along a

carpet or gymnasium floor. They are not caused by

contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and

normally heal quickly. However, if you haven’t healed

significantly within a few days, or if you have any

blistering, see your doctor immediately.
