Operation Manual

WARNING
Front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental
air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact
supplemental air bags:
● The side air bags and curtain air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a frontal
impact, rear impact, rollover or lower sever-
ity side collision. Always wear your seat
belts to help reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of accidents.
● The seat belts, the side air bags and curtain
air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat. The
side air bags and curtain air bags inflate with
great force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side air bags
on the side of the seatback of the front seat
or near the side roof rails. Do not allow any-
one sitting in the front seats or rear outboard
seats to extend their hand out of the window
or lean against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in the
previous illustrations.
● When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
side air bags inflates, you may be seriously
injured. Be especially careful with children,
who should always be properly restrained.
Some examples of dangerous riding posi-
tions are shown in the illustrations.
● Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with side air bags
inflation.
