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.

Supplemental Side Air Bags

located 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.
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithSupplementalSideAirBagInflatableCurtains(SABICs)
located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG
or AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side impact events.
•TheSABICsandSABs(“SideAirBags”)aredesignedtoactivateincertainside
impacts and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”)
determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or
rollover event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage
by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
WARNING!

•BeingtooclosetotheSideAirBagsduringdeploymentcouldcauseyoutobe

•RelyingontheSideAirBagsalonecouldleadtomoresevereinjuriesinacollision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though
you have Side Air Bags.
•This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the
deployment of the SABICs. The trim covering above the side windows where the SABIC
and its deployment path are located should remain free from any obstructions.
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithSABICs.InorderfortheSABICstoworkasintended,
do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the roof. Do not
add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require
permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not
drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.

3. Lift the seat cushion up and push back to lock it in the booster seat position.
4. Place the child upright in the seat with
their back firmly against the seatback.
5. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the
seat belt.
6. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as
far as necessary to allow the seat belt to
go around the child’s lap. NOTE: The lap
portion of the seat belt should be low on
the hips and as snug as possible.
7. Once the seat belt is long enough to fit
properly, insert the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”
8. To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat
belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle.
WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat
will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat cushion could cause serious injury.
WARNING!
•Inacollision,anunrestrainedchild,evenatinybaby,canbecomeaprojectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your
vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.

•Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
•Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of
an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
