Advanced Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage

driver and front passenger air bags. This system provides

output appropriate to the severity and type of collision as

determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC),

which may receive information from the front impact

sensors or other system components.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an

impact that requires air bag deployment. A low energy

output is used in less severe collisions. A higher energy

output is used for more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or front

passenger seat track position sensors that may adjust the

inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon

seat position.

This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/or front

passenger seat belt buckle switch that detects whether

the driver or front passenger seat belt is buckled. The seat

belt buckle switch may adjust the inflation rate of the

Advanced Front Air Bags.

WARNING!

No objects should be placed over or near the air bag

on the instrument panel or steering wheel, because

any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in

a collision severe enough to cause the air bags to

inflate.

Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers

or attempt to open them manually. You may damage

the air bags and you could be injured because the air

bags may no longer be functional. The protective

covers for the air bag cushions are designed to open

only when the air bags are inflating.
