Your vehicle has the following airbag:
| • | A frontal airbag for the driver. |
Your vehicle may have the following airbags:
| • | A frontal airbag for the right front passenger. |
| • | A roof-rail airbag for the driver (cargo van). |
| • | A roof-rail airbag for the right front passenger position (cargo or passenger van equipped with a sliding door). |
| If you have a passenger van with a right front passenger roof-rail airbag and a sliding door, you will also have a separate roof-rail airbag for the passenger seated directly behind the right front passenger and the third row outboard passenger position. |
| • | A roof-rail airbag for the driver, passenger seated directly behind the driver, and the third row outboard passenger position (passenger van equipped with a sliding or hinged door). |
| • | A roof-rail airbag for the right front passenger, passenger seated directly behind the right front passenger, and the third row outboard passenger position (passenger van equipped with a hinged door). |
All of the airbags in your vehicle will have the word AIRBAG embossed in the trim or on an attached label near the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the middle part of the steering wheel for the driver and on the instrument panel for the right front passenger.
With roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear along the headliner or trim.
Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system:
Caution: You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt -- even if you have airbags. Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags are "supplemental restraints" to the safety belts. All airbags are designed to work with safety belts, but do not replace them.
Caution: Frontal airbags are designed to deploy in moderate to severe frontal and near frontal crashes. They are not designed to inflate in rollover, rear crashes, or in many side crashes.
If your vehicle has rollover capable roof-rail airbags, they are designed to inflate in moderate to severe crashes where something hits the side of your vehicle and in the event of a vehicle rollover. They are not designed to inflate in frontal or in rear crashes. Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety belt properly -- whether or not there is an airbag for that person.Caution: Airbags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to the airbag, as you would be if you were sitting on the edge of your seat or leaning forward. Safety belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with airbags. The driver should sit as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle.
Occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door or side windows in seating positions with roof-rail airbags.Caution: Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection for adults, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them. Young children and infants need the protection that a child restraint system can provide. Always secure children properly in your vehicle. To read how, see Older Children or Infants and Young Children .
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See Airbag Readiness Light for more information.
