CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
■
●
If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy,
be sure to remove it.
●
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.
●
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components. (P. 117)
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

●
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad or lower
portion of the instrument panel. These
items can become projectiles when
SRS driver and front passenger and
knee airbags deploy.
●
Do not attach anything to areas such as
the door, windshield glass, side door
glass, front, center and rear pillars, roof
side rail or assist grip.
●
Do not hang coat hangers or other hard
objects on the coat hooks. All of these
items could become projectiles and
result in death or serious injury, should
the SRS curtain shield airbag deploy.
