WARNING!
²Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work

airbags.
²Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during airbag deployment could cause seri-
ous injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back,
comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
²Side curtain airbags need room to inflate. Do not
lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.

²Occupant Restraint Control Module
²Airbag Warning Light
²Driver Airbag

²Side Remote Acceleration Sensors
²Driver Side Seat Track Position Sensor
