Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Rear end collisions
2- Side collisions
3- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the front airbags and driver's knee airbag
do not protect the occupant in all types of colli-
sions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.
The front airbags and driver's knee airbag MAY
DEPLOY when...
The front airbags and driver's knee airbag may de-
ploy if the bottom of the vehicle suffers a moderate-
to-severe impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
1- Collision with an elevated median/island or
kerb
2- Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
3- Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits
the ground
Because the front airbags and driver's knee airbag
may deploy in certain types of unexpected impacts
as shown in the illustration that can easily move
you out of position, it is important to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help
keep you in a safe distance from the steering wheel
and instrument panel during the initial stages of air-
bag deployment. The initial stage of airbag infla-
tion is the most forceful and can possibly cause se-
rious or fatal injuries if you contact it at this stage.
WARNING
l
Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel padded cover, such as trim materi-
al, badges, etc. It might strike and injure
an occupant if the airbag inflates.

Seat and seat belts
WARNING
l
Do not set anything on, or attach any-
thing to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an oc-
cupant if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
l
Do not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windscreen. These objects
could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the air-
bags inflate.
l
Do not attach additional keys or accesso-
ries (hard, pointed or heavy objects) to
the ignition key. Such objects could pre-
vent the driver's knee airbag from inflat-
ing normally or could be propelled and
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
