Side air bags (if equipped)
OAC3039019TU
OAC3039020TU
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to pro-
vide the vehicle’s driver and the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt
alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain air
bags and pre-tensioners on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy if a
rollover or possible rollover is detect-
ed.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death from an inflating side air
bag, take the following precau-
tions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
• Do not allow passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the
system.
• Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself. Also, do not
attach any objects around the
area the air bag inflates such as
the door, side door glass, front
and rear pillar.
• Do not place any objects
between the door and the seat.
They may become dangerous
projectiles if the side air bag
inflates.
• Do not install any accessories
on the side or near the side air
bags.
