Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver
and passenger seating positions.
The SRS consists of air bags which are
located in the center of the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The air bags are labeled with the letters
“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passengers
with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt system alone in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating front air
bags, take the following precau-
tions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
• Adjust the front passenger’s and
driver’s seats as far to the rear as
possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or
center console.
• Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
• Do not allow the passenger to ride
in the front seat when the front
passenger’s air bag OFF indicator
is illuminated.
• No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on the
steering wheel, instrument panel,
and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.
