Safe Driving
Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the torso and pelvis of the driver, front passenger, or
an outer rear seat occupant during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
The side airbags are housed in the outside
edge of the driver's, passenger's, and rear
outer passenger's seat-backs.
Each are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
■Housing Locations
1Side Airbags
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags.
They can interfere with the proper operation of the
airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag inflates.
Do not cover or replace th e seat-back covers without
consulting a dealer.
Improperly replacing or covering seat-back covers can
prevent your side airbag s from properly deploying
during a side impact.
Make sure you, your front seat passenger and rear
outboard occupants always sit upright. Leaning into
the path of a side airbag can prevent the airbag from
deploying properly and increa ses your risk of serious
injury.
Side airbag deploy ment is controlled by a pressure
sensor inside each front door . Damage or changes to
the inside or outside of the doors may negatively
affect side airbag deployment. Contact an authorized
dealer before ch anging or repairing a front door.
