W ARNING! • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury , including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel. • Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag.[...]

W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or steering wheel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the air bags to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to open them manually . Y ou may damage the air ba[...]

Because air bag sensors measur e vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed. Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all colli- sions, and also are needed to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag. When the ORC detects a [...]

The SABIC deploys downward, covering the side win- dows. An inflating SABIC pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window . The SABICs inflate with enough force to injure occupants if they ar e not belted and seated properly , or if items are positioned in the ar ea where the SABICs inflate. Children are at an even g[...]

The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) ar e designed to activate in certain side impacts.

Sit upright in the center of the seat. • Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deploy- ment could cause you to be severely injured or killed. ?[...]

• As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the process that generates the non-toxic gas used for air bag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water . For nose or throat irritatio[...]

Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response Sys- tem perform the following functions: • Cut off fuel to the engine. • Flash hazard lights as long [...]
