Seats and Restraints
Changing or moving any parts of
the front seats, safety belts, the
air bag sensing and diagnostic
module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, roof-rail air bag
modules, ceiling headliner or
pillar garnish trim, overhead
console, front sensors, side impact
sensors, rollover sensor module, or
air bag wiring can affect the
operation of the air bag system.
Adding equipment to the front or
sides of your vehicle may keep the
air bags from working properly.
Check with your dealer before
adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.

CAUTION
Do not secure anything to the
roof of your vehicle by routing
rope or tiedowns through any
door or window opening. This
will block the inflation path of a
roof-mounted side impact air
bag.
Do not use seat accessories
that block the path of a seat-
mounted side impact air bag.
Vehicle occupants should not
lean or sleep against the doors
or side windows.
CAUTION
When an air bag inflates, it
leaves dust in the air. This
dust could cause breathing
problems for people with a
history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. To avoid
this, everyone in the vehicle
should get out as soon as it is
safe to do so. If you are unable
to get out of the vehicle, then
open a window or door.
If you experience breathing
problems following air bag
deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
In many severe crashes,
windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional
windshield breakage may also
occur from the inflation of the
right front passenger air bag.
