CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
If the 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 inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable
the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components (P. 101).
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.
Do not attach anything to areas such as
a door, windshield glass, side door
glass, rear quarter glass, front or rear
pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.
(Except for the speed limit label
P. 383)
Vehicles without a smart entry & start
system only: Do not attach any heavy,
sharp or hard objects such as keys and
accessories to the key. The objects
may restrict the SRS knee airbag infla-
tion or be thrust into the driver's seat
area by the force of the deploying air-
bag, thus causing a danger.
