Warning
Never leave a child, a
helpless adult, or a pet alone
in a vehicle, especially with
the windows closed in warm
or hot weather. They can be
overcome by the extreme
heat and suffer permanent
injuries or even death from
heat stroke.
The vehicle aerodynamics are
designed to improve fuel
economy performance. This may result in a pulsing sound
when one window is down and
the other three are up. To
reduce the sound, open
another window or the
sunroof, if equipped.

Seats and Restraints 69
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the seat belt
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
Have the seat belt
pretensioners checked if the
vehicle has been in a crash,
or if the airbag readiness light
stays on after you start the
vehicle or while you are
driving. See Airbag Readiness
Light0127.
Airbag System
The vehicle has the following
airbags:
.A frontal airbag for the
driver
.A frontal airbag for the front
outboard passenger
.A knee airbag for the driver
.A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the driver
.A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the front outboard
passenger
.A roof-rail airbag for the
driver and the passenger
seated directly behind the
driver
.A roof-rail airbag for the
front outboard passenger
and the passenger seated
directly behind the front
outboard passenger
All vehicle airbags have the
word AIRBAG on the trim or
on a label near the deployment
opening.
For frontal airbags, the word
AIRBAG is on the center of the
steering wheel for the driver
and on the instrument panel
for the front outboard
passenger.
For knee airbags, the word
AIRBAG is on the lower part of
the instrument panel.
For seat-mounted side impact
airbags, the word AIRBAG is
on the side of the seatback or
side of the seat closest to
the door. For roof-rail airbags, the word
AIRBAG is on the ceiling
or trim.
Airbags are designed to
supplement the protection
provided by seat belts. Even
though today's airbags are
also designed to help reduce
the risk of injury from the
force of an inflating bag, all
airbags must inflate very
quickly to do their job.
Here are the most important
things to know about the
airbag system:
{Warning
You can be severely injured
or killed in a crash if you are
not wearing your seat belt,
even with airbags. Airbags
are designed to work with
seat belts, not replace them.
Also, airbags are not
designed to inflate in every
crash. In some crashes seat

70 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
belts are the only restraint.
See When Should an Airbag
Inflate?072.
Wearing your seat belt
during a crash helps reduce
your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle or being
ejected from it. Airbags are
“supplemental restraints” to
the seat belts. Everyone in
the vehicle should wear a
seat belt properly, whether
or not there is an airbag for
that person.
{Warning
Because airbags inflate with
great force and faster than
the blink of an eye, anyone
who is up against, or very
close to, any airbag when it
inflates can be seriously
injured or killed. Do not sit
unnecessarily close to any (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
airbag, as you would be if
sitting on the edge of the
seat or leaning forward.
Seat belts help keep you in
position before and during a
crash. Always wear a seat
belt, even with airbags. The
driver should sit as far back
as possible while still
maintaining control of the
vehicle. The seat belts and
the front outboard
passenger airbags are most
effective when you are
sitting well back and upright
in the seat with both feet on
the floor.
Occupants should not lean
on or sleep against the door
or side windows in seating
positions with seat-mounted
side impact airbags and/or
roof-rail airbags.
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag
when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed.
Always secure children
properly in the vehicle. To
read how, see Older
Children082 or
Infants and Young Children
0 83.
There is an airbag readiness
light on the instrument cluster,
which shows the airbag
symbol. The system checks
the airbag electrical system
for malfunctions. The light tells
you if there is an electrical
problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light 0127 for
more information.

Seats and Restraints 71
Where Are the
Airbags?
The driver frontal airbag is in
the center of the steering
wheel.
The front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is in the
passenger side instrument
panel.
The driver knee airbag is
below the steering column.
Driver Side Shown,
Passenger Side Similar The seat-mounted side impact
airbags for the driver and
front outboard passenger are
in the sides of the seatbacks
closest to the door.
The roof-rail airbags for the
driver, front outboard
passenger, and second row
outboard passengers are in
the ceiling above the side
windows.
{Warning
If something is between an
occupant and an airbag, the
airbag might not inflate
properly or it might force
the object into that person
causing severe injury or
even death. The path of an
inflating airbag must be kept
clear. Do not put anything
between an occupant and an
airbag, and do not attach or
put anything on the steering
wheel hub or on or near any
other airbag covering.

72 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
Do not use seat accessories
that block the inflation path
of a seat-mounted side
impact airbag.
Never secure anything to
the roof of a vehicle with
roof-rail airbags by routing a
rope or tie‐down through
any door or window opening.
If you do, the path of an
inflating roof-rail airbag will
be blocked.
When Should an
Airbag Inflate?
This vehicle is equipped with
airbags. See Airbag System
069. Airbags are designed to
inflate if the impact exceeds
the specific airbag system's
deployment threshold.
Deployment thresholds are
used to predict how severe a
crash is likely to be in time for
the airbags to inflate and help
restrain the occupants. The vehicle has electronic sensors
that help the airbag system
determine the severity of the
impact. Deployment
thresholds can vary with
specific vehicle design.
Frontal airbags are designed
to inflate in moderate to
severe frontal crashes to help
reduce the potential for
severe injuries, mainly to the
driver's or front outboard
passenger's head and chest.
Whether the frontal airbags
will or should inflate is not
based primarily on how fast
the vehicle is traveling.
It depends on what is hit, the
direction of the impact, and
how quickly the vehicle
slows down.
Frontal airbags may inflate at
different crash speeds
depending on whether the
vehicle hits an object straight
on or at an angle, and whether
the object is fixed or moving,
rigid or deformable, narrow
or wide.Frontal airbags are not
intended to inflate during
vehicle rollovers, in rear
impacts, or in many side
impacts.
In addition, the vehicle has
advanced technology frontal
airbags. Advanced technology
frontal airbags adjust the
restraint according to either
crash severity or occupant
interaction.
Knee airbags are designed to
inflate in moderate to severe
frontal impacts. Knee airbags
are not designed to inflate
during vehicle rollovers, in rear
impacts, or in many side
impacts.
Seat-mounted side impact
airbags are designed to inflate
in moderate to severe side
crashes depending on the
location of the impact. These
airbags may also inflate in
some moderate to severe
frontal impacts. Seat-mounted
side impact airbags are not
designed to inflate in rollovers
