WARNING
cThe seat belts, the supplemental side
air bags and curtain side-impact and
rollover air bags are most effective
when you are sitting well back and up-
right in the seat. The side air bag and
curtain air bag inflate with great force.
Do not allow anyone to place their
hand, leg or face near the side air bag
on the side of the seatback of the front
seat or near the side roof rails. Do not
allow anyone sitting in the front seats or
rear outboard seats to extend their
hand out of the window or lean against
the door. Some examples of dangerous
riding positions are shown in the previ-
ous illustrations.
Do not lean against doors or windows.

Supplemental side-impact air bag (if
so equipped) and curtain side-impact
and rollover air bags system
The supplemental side-impact air bags are lo-
cated in the outside of the seatback of the front
seats. The supplemental curtain side-impact and
rollover air bags are located in the side roof rails
in all 3 rows. These systems are designed to meet
voluntary guidelines to help reduce the risk of
injury to out-of-position occupants.However,
all of the information, cautions and warn-
ings in this manual still apply and must be
followed.The supplemental side air bags and
curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are de-signed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,
although they may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher
severity side impact. They are designed to inflate
on the side where the vehicle is impacted. They
may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Curtain side-impact and rollover air bags are also
designed to inflate in certain types of rollover
collisions or near rollovers.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental side air bag
and curtain air bag operation.
When the supplemental side air bag and curtain
air bags inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard,
followed by release of smoke. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire. Care should
be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation
and choking. Those with a history of a breathing
condition should get fresh air promptly.
Supplemental side air bags, along with the use of
seat belts, help to cushion the impact force on
the chest of the front occupants. Curtain side-
impact and rollover air bags help to cushion the
impact force to the head of occupants in the front
and rear outboard seating positions in all rows.
They can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, an inflating side air bag, or
curtain air bag may cause abrasions or other
injuries.The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the supplemental side air
bag. Rear seat passengers should be seated as
far away as practical from the door finishers and
side roof rails. The side air bags and curtain air
bag inflate quickly in order to help protect the
occupants. Because of this, the force of the side
air bag and curtain air bag inflating can increase
the risk of injury if the occupant is too close to, or
is against, these air bag modules during inflation.
The side air bag and curtain air bag will deflate
after the collision is over.
The supplemental side air bags and curtain
side-impact and rollover air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START positions.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The supplemental air bag
warning light will turn off after about 7
seconds if the system is operational.
