276 SAFETY
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver
and fron
t passenger, and position the front occupants for
improved interaction with the front air bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air
Bags (SABs).
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) are
located
in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are
marked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” on a label or on
the seat trim on the outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of occupant injury
during ce
rtain side impacts, in addition to the injury reduc-
tion potential provided by the seat belts and body structure.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag Label
When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on the outboard
s
ide of
the seatback’s trim cover. The inflating SAB deploys
through the seat seam into the space between the occupant
and the door. The SAB moves at a very high speed and with
such a high force that it could injure occupants if they are not
seated properly, or if items are positioned in the area where
the SAB inflates. Children are at an even greater risk of injury
from a deploying air bag.
WARNING!
• Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact
bolsters
in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters
such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
