Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both fr ont seating positions ar e equipped with pr etensioning devices that are designed to remove any slack from the seat belts in the event of a collision.

The fr ont airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer functional.[...]

NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open to allow airbag deployment. If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat- mounted side airbags, they are marked with an SRS label sewn into the outboard side of the seat.

W ARNING! • If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat-mounted side airbags, do not use acces- sory seat covers or place objects between you and the seat airbags; the performance could be ad- versely af fected and/or objects could be pushed into you, causing serious injury . • If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front se[...]

Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and front passenger .

• The ORC also monitors the r eadiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON positions.

The passenger’s front airbag gas is vented [...]

between the occupant and the door . The airbag inflates at a very high speed and with enough force to injur e you if you are not belted and seated properly , or if items are positioned in the area where the fr ont seat-mounted side airbag inflates. This especially ap- plies to children. The following requirements must be strictly adhered to: • Do[...]

If a Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the ORC detects a moderate to sever e collision to help restrain the driver and front passenger and then to immediately deflate. NOTE: A fr ontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag pr otection will not activate the system. This does not mean something is wrong with [...]

W ARNING! Deployed airbags can’t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact that causes airbag deployment, with the vehicle stopped, and the vehicle communication network intact, and the power intact, the Enhanced Accident R[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • Y ou need proper knee impact protection in a collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket equipment on or behind the knee impact bolster . • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has airbags. NOTE: Per chlorate Material — s[...]
