Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.
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.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers. 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.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the airbags or hurt someone if an airbag
inflates.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can
interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers. This can prevent your
side airbags from properly deploying during a side impact.
An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash,
even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always keep the glove box closed while driving.

Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a
message appears on the Driver Information Interface .
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other
time besides vehicle start-up or does
not come on at all, have the system
checked by a dealer as soon as
possible. If you don't, your airbags and
seat belt tensioners may not work
properly when they are needed.
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag
systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.

Passenger Airbag Off Indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you that
the front passenger’s front airbag has
been turned off. This occurs when the
front passenger’s weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight
of an infant or small child, on the seat.
Children age 12 or under should always
ride properly restrained in a back seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also
cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the indicator will not come on and, in
the event of a crash, the front passenger's airbag will not deploy.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front
passenger’s seat, something may be interfering with the weight sensors,
such as:
• An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
• A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’s
seat.
• The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or floor
behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger’s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as
soon as possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and go off repeatedly if the
total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
