2003 SC430 from May ’03 Prod. (OM24449U)
If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward.
This points the airbag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by
NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot
pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument
panel controls.
Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The front passenger airbag also deploys with
considerable force, and can cause death or serious
injury especially if the front passenger is very close to
the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far
from the airbag as possible with the seat position and
the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
Front seats
CAUTION
The side airbags are installed in the driver and front
passenger seats. Observe the following precautions.
Do not lean against the door when the vehicle is in
use, since the side airbag inflates with considerable
speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or
severely injured.
Do not use seat accessories which cover the area
where the side airbags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from activating correctly,
causing death or serious injury.
Do not modify or replace the seats or the upholstery
of seats equipped with side airbags. Such changes
may prevent the side airbags from activating
correctly, disable the system, or cause the side
airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or
serious injury.
