Airbag SRS deployment zones
Keep the deployment zones of the dual airbag SRS free of all aftermarket
equipment. Failure to do so may inhibit the functioning of the dual
airbag SRS in the event of a collision.
Airbags must be allowed to deploy fully without restriction. The
deployment of airbags is not compatible with any configuration of
aftermarket equipment mounted within the airbag deployment paths.
Equipment mounted or placed within the deployment zones of the dual
airbag SRS will reduce the effectiveness of the airbags, damage the
airbags and potentially damage or dislodge the equipment, which may
result in personal injury.
Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the airbag
cover on the side of the seatbacks of the front seats or in front
seat areas that may come into contact with a deploying airbag. Failure
to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision.
Before mounting any equipment to your vehicle, refer to the following
illustrations for airbag deployment zones. Aftermarket equipment may
not be installed within the illustrated airbag deployment zones.

zones of the side canopy airbags and side seat airbags that may
