ATTENTION
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’objets rigides sur les crochets porte-vêtements.
Tous ces objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles et vous occasionner des
blessures graves, voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement des coussins gonflables
SRS en rideau.
●Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé sur la zone de déploiement du coussin
SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les coussins gon-
flables SRS latéraux se déploient, car ceux-ci pourraient nuire au déploiement de
ces coussins. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins gonflables laté-
raux de se déployer correctement, rendre le système inopérant ou provoquer
accidentellement le déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux, occasionnant
des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une pression importante à l’emplacement des
composants de coussins gonflables SRS.
Vous risqueriez de provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gonfla-
bles SRS.
●Ne fixez et n’appuyez rien sur des zones
telles que le tableau de bord, le tampon de
volant, la partie inférieure du bloc d’instru-
mentation et la porte de la boîte à gants.
Ces objets peuvent se transformer en pro-
jectiles lorsque les coussins gonflables SRS
du conducteur, du passager avant ou de
protection des genoux se déploient.
●Ne fixez rien sur les portières, le pare-brise,
les glaces latérales, les montants avant ou
arrière, le longeron du toit et la poignée
d’appui.
