- Any articles of clothing that you have hung
up must not interfere with the driver's view.
The coat hooks are designed only for light­
weight cloth ing. Never hang any clothing
with hard, pointed or heavy objects in the
poc kets on the coat hooks. Dur ing sudden
bra king or in an accident -especia lly if the
airbag is dep loyed -these objects could in­
jure any passengers inside the vehicle.
- To reduce the risk of pe rsonal inj ury in an
a cci den t or su dden stop, a lways keep the
glove compartment closed while driv ing.
- Read and follow a ll WARN ING S
<=> page 162, Important safety instru ctions
on the side airbag system.
- Hang clothes i n such a way that they do not
impa ir the driver's vis ion.
- The coat hooks must only be used for lig ht­
we ight clot hing. Do not leave any heavy or
sharp edged objects in the pockets which
may interfere wit h the side curtain airbag
deployment and can cause personal injury in
a crash.
- Do not use coat ha ngers for hanging cloth­
ing on the coat hooks as this can interfere
with prope r deployment of the side curtain
airbags in an accident.
- Do not hang heavy objects on the coat
hooks, as they co uld cause personal injury in
a sudden stop.
- For strength-related reasons, the mounting
hooks can on ly be used to secure objects
weighing up to 10 lb. (5 kg). Heavier objects
will not be adequate ly secured -there is a
risk of in jury.
