o Modification to SRS components
or wiring, including the addition of any kind of badges to the pad covers or modifications to thebody structure, can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.
o For cleaning the airbag pad cov- ers, use only a soft, dry cloth orone which has been moistenedwith plain water. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the airbag covers and properdeployment of the system.
