Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel by placing
materials over the steering wheel pad and
above, around or on the instrument panel or
by installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
• Work on and around the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorised electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
supplemental air bag systems.
• The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low for easy identification.
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch. In afrontal
collision, supplemental front-impact air bags
inflate with great force. An inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, afairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with ahistory of abreath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly. Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of
ahigher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation. WARNING
Never install
arear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In afrontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. Front passenger air bag status light (where fit-
ted):
WARNING
• Since your vehicle is equipped with
af
ront
passenger air bag, it is not permitted to install
ar earward facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger air
bag has been deactivated first. NP A1531
