airbag are fitted with a deactivation switch
located on the side of the Instrument Panel, on

Side and Curtain Airbag Deployment
Zones
WARNINGS:
Do not place accessories in the
deployment zone of the side and curtain
airbags as they may impair airbag
deployment.
Do not place stickers or decals over the
airbag covers as this may impair airbag
deployment.
NOTE:
It is recommended to specify a base
vehicle without airbags if planning modifications
in this area.
Side Airbags (Seat Mounted):
The side airbags
on this vehicle have not been validated for use
with swiveling front seats. Do not specify a base
vehicle with side airbags if planning to retrofit a
swiveling device on the front seats and/or an
armrest on the outer side of the front seats; this
may affect the function and/or deployment of
the side airbags. Ensure any seat covers installed
are designed to be used with side airbag equipped
seats.
Curtain Airbags:
Extensive modifications to the
roof and headlining may impair deployment of
the curtain airbags. If roof or headlining is to be
modified or replaced, do not specify curtain
airbags on the base vehicle.
If access to the roof is required, to install roof
mounted exterior accessories for example, ensure
the unmodified headlining is refitted using the
existing mounting points.
