Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument
panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides enhanced
protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and
Advanced Front Air Bags.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According
to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK
(1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information:
