cloth.

DRIVER AIRBAG

Do not modify the front of your

vehicle in any way. This could

adversely affect deployment of the

airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning

could result in serious personal injury or

death.

Wear a safety belt and keep

sufficient distance between yourself

and the steering wheel. Only when

you use the safety belt correctly, can it hold

you in a position that allows the airbag to

achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting

in the Correct Position (page 100). Failure

to adhere to this warning could result in

serious personal injury or death.

Repairs to the steering wheel,

steering column, seats, airbags and

safety belts must be carried out by

an authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to

this warning could result in serious

personal injury or death.

The airbag will deploy during significant

frontal collisions or collisions that are up

to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The

airbag will inflate within a few thousandths

of a second and deflate on contact with

the occupant, thus cushioning forward

body movement. During minor frontal

collisions, overturns, rear collisions and

side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

Keep the areas in front of the airbags

free from obstruction. Do not affix

anything to or over the airbag covers.

In the event of a crash, hard objects could

cause serious personal injury or death.

Do not puncture the seat with sharp

objects. This could damage and

adversely affect deployment of the

airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning

could result in serious personal injury or

death.

Use seat covers designed for seats

with side airbags. Have these fitted

by an authorized dealer. Failure to

adhere to this warning could result in

serious personal injury or death.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS

The airbags are located inside the

seatback of the front seats. There is a label

attached to the side of the seatback to

indicate this.

The airbags are located over the front and

rear side windows.

The airbag will deploy during significant

lateral collisions. The airbag will not deploy

in minor lateral and frontal collisions, rear

collisions, or overturns.

The airbag will deploy during significant

lateral collisions. It will also deploy during

significant frontal angled collisions. The

curtain airbag will not deploy in minor

lateral and frontal collisions, rear collisions,

or overturns.

DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG

WARNING

Do not attempt to open the airbag

cover.

The airbag will deploy during frontal

collisions or collisions that are up to 30

degrees from the left or the right. The

airbag will inflate within a few thousandths

of a second and deflate on contact with

the occupants, thus providing a cushion

between the driver’s knees and the steering

column. During overturns, rear collisions

and side collisions, the knee airbag will not

deploy.

For item location: See At a Glance (page

11).

Note: The airbag has a lower deployment

threshold than the front airbags. During a

minor collision, it is possible that only the

knee airbag will deploy.
