CAUTION!
The SRS airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the primary protection of the seat belt system of
the driver. The driver is particularlysusceptible to injury if he/she does
not wear his/her seat belt; when
sudden braking or a collision oc-
curs, he/she may be thrown for-
ward. To obtain further protection in
an accident, the driver and all pas-
sengers in the vehicle should al-ways wear their seat belts when
driving. For instructions and pre-
cautions concerning the seat belt
systems, see Seat beltsº in this
chapter.
CAUTION!
Do not put objects on the steering
wheel pad. They might restrict
inflation or cause personal injury as they are projected rearward.
Do not modify, remove or open any
component or wiring, such as the
steering wheel, column cover, air-
bag sensor assembly. Doing any of
these may cause sudden SRS air-
bag inflation or disable the system,
which could result in personal inju-
ry.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in severe injuries.
