Side Air Bags (Seat Mounted):The side air bags

vehicle with side air bags if planning to retrofit a
swivelling device on the front seats and/or an

NOTE: It is recommended to specify a base
vehicle without air bags if planning modifications
in this area.
Curtain Air Bags:Extensive modifications to the
roof and headlining may impair deployment of
the curtain air bags. If roof or headlining is to be
modified or replaced, do not specify curtain air
bags on the base vehicle.
If access to the roof is required, to install roof
mounted exterior accessories for example, ensure
the unmodified headlining is refitted using the
existing mounting points.

curtain air bags as standard fitment.
