NOTE:

• Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pretensioners

and/or SABIC airbags on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy.

• Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim;

but they will open during airbag deployment.

The system includes sensors adjacent to both front and
rear seat occupants that are calibrated to deploy the
SABIC airbags during impacts that require airbag occu-
pant protection.

WARNING!

If your vehicle is equipped with left and right Side
Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), do not stack luggage
or other cargo up high enough to block the location of
the SABIC. The area where the side curtain airbag is
located should remain free from any obstructions.

Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and the front passenger, and position everyone for
the best interaction with the front airbag.

Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Front
Airbags work with the knee bolsters to provide improved
protection for the driver and front passenger. Side airbags
also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection.

Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the
risk of harm from a deploying airbag:

1. Children 12 years and younger should always ride
buckled up in a rear seat.

Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride
in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. An
airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in that position.
