module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, inner door seals including the speakers, any of the
airbag modules, ceiling or pillar
trim, front sensors, side impact
sensors or airbag wiring.

console area. Do not put any
magnetic objects in this area.
Do not affix any objects onto the
airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials. Have damagedcovers replaced by a workshop.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
