severe frontal collisions when the ignition
switch is in “ON” position.
Front airbags are not designed to inflate in
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal collisions, since they would
offer no protection in those types of acci-
dents. Since an airbag deploys only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
Therefore, an airbag is not a substitute for
seat belts. To maximize your protection,
always fasten your seat belts. Be aware
that no system can prevent all possible 53T01003
injuries that may occur in an accident.

• Avoid operating the vehicle with
the tailgate open. If it is necessary
to do so, check that the all win-
dows are closed, and the blower is
at high speed with the air intake
selector set to FRESH AIR.
• To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grill in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves or
other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leak-
age. Any damage or leakage
should be repaired immediately.
