operation of the air bags.
WARNING
When using on a vehicle with air bags, DO NOT tamper
with, disable or remove any components related to
the operation of the air bags. Vehicles equipped with
air bags are designed such that the air bags will be
activated in a frontal collision equivalent to hitting a
solid barrier (such as a wall) at approximately 14 mph
or more, or, roughly speaking, a frontal perpendicular
collision with a parked car or truck of similar size at
approximately 28 mph or more. Careless or high speed
driving while plowing snow, which results in vehicle
decelerations equivalent to or greater than the air bag
deployment threshold described above, could deploy
the air bag.
