Side airbags

DANGER

Do not place objects or mounting devices on or near the roof lining at the side rail, to prevent them from contacting the curtain airbags when they deploy. Failure to observe these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in an accident.

Do not lean your head out of the door. The side airbag may cause serious personal injury if it deploys from the side of the seat back.

Do not use seat covers. Seat covers may prevent the side airbags from deploying, increasing the risk of personal injury in an accident.

Do not attempt to service, repair or modify the supplemental restraint system or its components. Failure to observe this instruction may cause serious or fatal personal injury.

If the system is activated, the supplemental restraint system components will no longer function. Have the system and its components inspected as soon as possible. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious or fatal injury.

The side airbags are located on the outer side of the front seat backs. They are identified by a label on the side of each seat back.

The side airbags are designed to inflate between the door panel and the vehicle occupant to increase protection in certain types of accident.

The airbag is designed to deploy in a severe side impact. It may also deploy in a severe frontal impact. It is not designed to deploy in a minor side or frontal impact, a rear-end collision or a vehicle rollover.
