WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or near the air
bag on the instrument panel, because any such
objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
• Do not put anything on or around the air bag
covers or attempt to open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you could be injured
because the air bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air bag cushions are
designed to open only when the air bags are
inflating.
• Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in
any way.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 63
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster
such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band radios,
etc.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) may
provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is marked with an air bag
label sewn into the outboard side of the front and rear
seats.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between the
front and side of the seat's back trim cover (front seats) or
between the top and side seat's cushion trim cover (rear
seat). Each air bag deploys independently; a left side
impact deploys the left air bags only and a right-side
(Continued)
impact deploys the right air bags only.
