CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy,
be sure to remove it.
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag inflate as they may interfere with
inflation of the airbags.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components shown on P. 125.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
Vehicles without curtain shield airbags:
Do not attach anything to areas such as
the door, windshield glass or side door
glass.
Vehicles with curtain shield airbags: Do
not attach anything to areas such as
the door, windshield glass, side and
back door glass, front and rear pillars,
roof side rail, rear roof headlining or
assist grip. (Except for the speed limit
labelP. 413)
Vehicles without smart entry & start
system: Do not attach any heavy, sharp
or hard objects such as keys or acces-
sories to the key. The objects may
restrict the SRS knee airbag inflation or
be thrust into the driver’s seat area by
the force of the deploying airbag, thus
causing a danger.
