WARNING
Do not put any objects (including
straps or cord) over the steering
wheel pad, column cover, or
dashboard.
- These objects could be entan-
gled with the steering wheel,
preventing the SRS frontal
airbag, etc. from operating
properly.- If the SRS frontal airbagdeploys, these objects could
be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
Do not put any objects under the
driver’s side of the instrument
panel. If the SRS knee airbag
deploys, those objects could
interfere with its proper operation
and could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-
ror over the inside rear view mirror.
If the SRS airbag deploys, those
objects could become projectiles
that could seriously injure vehicle
occupants.

WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects
near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled
dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.

- Installation of additional elec- trical/electronic equipment
such as a mobile two-way
radio on or near the SRS
airbag system components
and/or wiring is not advisable.
This could interfere with
proper operation of the SRS
airbag system.- Modifications on or inside thedoor panels for the purpose of
a speaker replacement or
sound insulation
The impact sensors, which detect
the pressure of an impact, are
located in the doors. Do not
modify any components of the
doors or door trims, such as the
addition of door speakers for
example. Any modifications to
the doors will create a risk of the
airbag system becoming inopera-
tive or unintended airbag deploy-
ment.
