Seats and Restraints
CAUTION
Do not attach anything to the
area from where the air bag
inflates.
If something is between an
occupant and an air bag, the air
bag might not inflate properly
or it might force the object into
the occupant, causing severe
injury or even death.
The path of an inflating air bag
must be kept clear of any
objects at all times.
Changing or moving any parts of
the front seats, safety belts, the air
bag sensing and diagnostic
module, steering wheel, instrument
panel, roof-rail air bag
modules, ceiling headliner or pillar
garnish trim, front sensors, side
impact sensors, rollover sensor
module, or air bag wiring can
affect the operation of the air bag
system.
Adding equipment to the front or
sides of your vehicle may keep the
air bags from working properly.
Check with your dealer before
adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not secure anything to the
roof of your vehicle by routing
rope or tiedowns through any
door or window opening. This
will block the inflation path of a
roof-mounted side impact air
bag.
Do not use seat accessories that
block the path of a seat-mounted
side impact air bag.
Vehicle occupants should not
lean or sleep against the doors
or side windows.
