Important safety instructions
A
WARNING
Always make sure that the knee airbag can
inflate without interference. Objects be-
tween yourself and the airbag can increase
the risk of injury in an accident by interfer-
ing with the way the airbag deploys or by
being pushed into you as the airbag de-
ploys.
- No persons (children) or animals should
ride in the footwell in front of the pas-
senger seat. If the airbag deploys, this
can result in serious or fatal injuries.
- No objects of any kind should be carried
in the footwell area in front of the driv-
er's or passenger's seat. Bulky objects
(shopping bags, for example) can ham-
per or prevent proper deployment of the
airbag. Small objects can be thrown
through the vehicle if the airbag deploys
and injure you or your passengers.
