mental air bag system components will be
hot. Do not touch them: you may severely
burn yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should be made
to any components or wiring of the supple-
mental air bag systems. This is to prevent
accidental inflation of the supplemental air
bags or damage to the supplemental air bag
systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes to your
vehicle’s electrical system, suspension sys-

proper operation of the supplemental air
bag systems.
. Tampering with the supplemental air bag
systems may result in serious personal
injury. Tampering includes changes to the
steering wheel by placing materials over the
steering wheel pad and above, and by
installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
