- Always make sure that safety belts are worn correctly.
- Never let anyone sitting in the front seat put their hand
out of the window.
Objects between you and the airbag can increase the risk of
injury in a collision by interfering with the way the airbag
unfolds or by being pushed into you as the airbag inflates.
Never place or attach accessories or other objects (such as
cup holders, telephone brackets, or even large, bulky objects)
on the doors or over or near the area marked AIRBAG on the
seat backrests → Fig. 70 .
Accessories or other objects can fly dangerously through the
passenger compartment and cause serious injury if the
supplemental side airbag inflates.
Never position or hold any objects or pets in the area where an
airbag inflates or allow any children or other passengers to
ride in that space.
Never use the built-in coat hooks for anything but lightweight
clothing. Never leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets. Such objects may interfere with side airbag
deployment and cause serious personal injury in a collision.
