WARNING
● Do not lean against the door, roof side
rail, or front, side, or rear pillar.
● Do not allow anyone to kneel on a seat
toward the door or put their head or
hands outside the vehicle.
●
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the instrument panel.
● Do not attach anything to areas such
as the doors, windshield, side windows,
front or rear pillars, roof side rails and
assist grips.
●
Do not hang coat hangers or other
hard objects on the coat hooks. These
items could become projectiles if the
SRS curtain shield airbags deploy, pos-
sibly leading to death or serious injury.
●
If a vinyl cover is attached to the area
where the SRS knee airbag deploys,
be sure to remove it.
●
Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts from which the SRS
airbags deploy, as they may interfere
with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the SRS air-
bags from deploying correctly, may
disable the system or cause the SRS
airbags to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
●
Do not strike or apply significant force
to the SRS airbag system components,
front doors or their surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS airbags
to malfunction.
●
Do not touch any components of the
SRS airbags immediately after the SRS
airbags have deployed (inflated) as
they may be hot.
●
If breathing becomes difficult after the
SRS airbags have deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.
Wash off any residue as soon as possi-
ble to prevent skin irritation.
