SAFETY 217

Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and front passenger, and position the front occu-
pants for improved interaction with the front air bags.
WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact
bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
Supplemental Driver And Front Passenger Knee Air
Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee
Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the steering
column and a Supplemental Passenger Knee Air Bag
mounted in the instrument panel below the glove compart-
ment. The Supplemental Knee Air Bags provide enhanced
protection during a frontal impact by working together with
the seat belts, pretensioners, and front air bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of side air bags:
1.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs): Lo-
cated in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs
are marked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” label
sewn into the outboard side of the seats.

SAFETY 227

The SABs may help to reduce the risk of occupant injury
during certain side impacts and/or vehicle rollover events,
in addition to the injury reduction potential provided by
the seat belts and body structure.
When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on the outboard
side of the seatback’s trim cover (front seats) and the seam on
the outboard side of the seat cushion’s trim cover (outboard
rear seats — if equipped with rear SABs). The inflating SAB
deploys through the seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The SAB moves at a very high speed
and with such a high force that it could injure occupants if
they are not seated properly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the SAB inflates. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects
between you and the SABs; the performance could be
adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed into
you, causing serious injury.2.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs):
Located above the side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.”
SABICs may help reduce the risk of head or other injuries
to front and rear seat outboard occupants in certain side
impacts and/or vehicle rollover events, in addition to the
injury reduction potential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.
