other device or object on or around
the door. When the side airbag in-
flates, the cup holder or any other
device or object will be thrown with
great force or the side airbag may
not activate correctly, resulting in
death or serious injury. Likewise,
the driver and front passenger

sories may prevent the side airbags
from activating correctly, causing
death or serious injury.

or upholstery of the front seats

kind.
