Devices intended to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the
shoulder part of a seat belt can
reduce the protective capability of
the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
Carrying hard or sharp
objects on your lap, or driving with
a pipe or other sharp objects in
your mouth, can result in injuries
if your front airbag inflates.
Do not place the rear floor mat
under the front passenger’s seat.
This could make the front
passenger’s weight sensors
ineffective. Make sure the rear
floor mat is hooked over the floor
mat anchor (see page
).
If your
hands or arms are close to an
airbag cover, they could be injured
if the airbag inflates.
If a side airbag or a
side curtain airbag inflates, a cup
holder or other hard object
attached on or near the door could
be propelled inside the vehicle and
hurt someone.
This could cause
problems with the driver’s seat
position sensor or the front
passenger’s seat weight sensors.
(See page
for more information.)
This could make the driver’s seat
position sensor or the front
passenger’s seat weight sensors
ineffective (see page
for more
information).
Objects on
the covers marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG’’
could interfere with the proper
operation of the airbags or be
propelled inside the vehicle and
hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
