distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a  cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serio us injury to you,
your occupants or others.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● Do  not  hang  coat  hangers  or  other  hard  objects  on  the  coat  hook s. All  of
these  items  could  become  projectiles  and  may  cause  death  or  ser ious
injury, should the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy.
● Do  not  attach  anything  to  or  lean  any-
thing  against  areas  such  as  the  dash-
board,  steering  wheel  pad  and  lower
portion of the instrument panel. 
These  items  can  become  projectiles
when  the  SRS  driver,  front  passenger

● Do not attach anything to areas such as
a  door,  windshield,  windows,  front  or
rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.
● Vehicles  without  a  smart  key  system:
Do  not  attach  any  heavy,  sharp  or  hard

SRS  knee  airbag  inflation  or  be  thrust
into the driver's seat area by the force of
the  deploying  airbag,  thus  causing  a
danger.
