WARNING
. Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects
near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled
dangerously toward the vehicle's
occupants and cause injuries.
. Do not attach a hands-free micro-
phone or any other accessory to
a front pillar, a center pillar, a rear
pillar, the windshield, a side win-
dow, an assist grip, or any other
cabin surface that would be near
a deploying SRS curtain airbag.
A hands-free microphone or
other accessory in such a loca-
tion could be propelled through
the cabin with great force by the
curtain airbag, or it could prevent
correct deployment of the curtain
airbag. In either case, the result
could be serious injuries.
. Never hang or place coat hangers
or other hard or pointed objects
near the side windows. If such
items are present when the SRS
curtain airbags deploy, they
could be thrown through the
passenger compartment and
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
cause serious injuries. They
could also prevent proper opera-
tion of the SRS curtain airbags.
WARNING
Do not hang coat hangers or other
hard or pointed objects on the coat
hooks. If such items are hanging on
the coat hooks during deployment
of the SRS curtain airbags, they
could cause serious injuries by
coming off the coat hooks and being
thrown through the cabin or by
preventing deployment of the cur-
tain airbags.
Before hanging clothing on the coat
hooks, make sure there are no sharp
objects in the pockets. Hang cloth-
ing directly on the coat hooks with-
out using hangers.
WARNING
. Do not put any kind of clothes or
other objects over either front
seatback and do not attach labels
or stickers to the front seat sur-
face on or near the SRS side

er deployment of the SRS side
airbag, reducing protection avail-
able to the front seat's occupant.
