SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS

• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front

passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front
Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.

• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by

supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several
factors, including the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are
not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.

• If the Air Bag Warning Light

is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on

while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immedi-
ately.

• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

WARNING!

• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.

The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.

• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced

Front Air Bag 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.

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved

in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.

• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer

immediately.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats rather than in the front.

Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
