1. Driver's Front Airbag
2. Passenger's Front Airbag
3. Side Airbag
4. Curtain Airbag
This vehicle is equipped with an advanced supplemental restraint system for the driver's seat and front passenger seat.
The front airbags are designed to supplement the three-point seat belts. For the airbags to provide protection, seat belts must be worn at all times while driving.
You may be seriously injured or killed in an accident if you do not wear your seat belt. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. Also, airbags are not designed to deploy in every collision. In some accidents, seat belts are the only restraint that protects you.
WARNING
SRS AIRBAG PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS wear seat belts and use child restraints on every trip, every time! Even with airbags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if you are not properly belted or if your seat belt is not fastened when an airbag deploys.
NEVER place a rear-facing child restraint or booster seat in the front passenger seat. The inflating airbag can strike the infant or child with great force, resulting in serious or fatal injury.
ABC – Always seat children under 13 years old in the rear seat. This is the safest place to carry children of any age. If a child aged 13 or older must sit in the front seat, the child must be properly belted and the seat must be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants must sit upright with the seatback in the upright position, centered on the seat cushion with the seat belt fastened, feet and legs comfortably extended on the floor, until the vehicle is parked and turned off. If an occupant is out of position during a crash, the rapidly deploying airbag may strike the occupant and cause serious or fatal injury.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean too close to the airbags, or lean against the door or center console.
Move the seat as far back from the front airbags as possible without compromising your ability to control the vehicle. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that drivers keep at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
