WARNING!

(Continued)

Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an
air bag. A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.

Only use a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat
of a vehicle with a rear seat.

Driver And Passenger Front Air Bag Features

The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage driver

and front passenger air bags. This system provides output

appropriate to the severity and type of collision as deter-

mined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which

may receive information from the front impact sensors (if

equipped) or other system components.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an

impact that requires air bag deployment. A low energy

output is used in less severe collisions. A higher energy

output is used for more severe collisions.

This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/or front

passenger seat belt buckle switch that detects whether the

driver or front passenger seat belt is buckled. The seat belt

buckle switch may adjust the inflation rate of the Ad-

vanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or front

passenger seat track position sensors that may adjust the

inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon

seat position.

WARNING!

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 bag to
inflate.

Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers
or attempt to open them manually. You may damage
the air bags and you could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional. The protective
covers for the air bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflating.
