Carrying hard or sharp
objects on your lap, or driving with
a pipe or other sharp object in
your mouth, can result in injuries
if your front airbag inflates.
If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
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.
If your
hands or arms are close to an
airbag cover, they could be injured
if the airbag inflates.
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.
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.
Improperly replacing
or covering front seat-back covers
can prevent your side airbags from
inflating during a side impact.
Do not place hard or sharp objects
between yourself and a f ront
airbag.
Two people should never use the
same seat belt.
Do not put any accessories on seat
belts.
Keep your hands and arms away
f rom the airbag covers.
Do not attach or place objects on
the f ront airbag covers.
Do not attach hard objects on or
near a door.
Do not cover or replace f ront seat-
back covers without consulting
your dealer.
