Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag
supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. See your authorized

dealer.

Modifications to the front end of the vehicle, including frame,
bumper, front end body structure, tow hooks and B-pillar

surrounding parts may affect the performance of the airbag sensors
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the
vehicle.

Additional equipment may affect the performance of the airbag
sensors increasing the risk of injury. Please refer to the

Body

Builders Layout Book

for instructions about the appropriate

installation of additional equipment.

Children and airbags

Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics
suggest that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front
seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the
risk of injury in a collision.

Airbags can kill or injure a
child in a child seat.

NEVER

place a rear-facing child

seat in front of an active airbag. If
you must use a forward-facing
child seat in the front seat, move
the seat all the way back.
