Before driving
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) CAUTION■ SRS airbag precautions
● Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board or steering wheel pad or lower

items can become projectiles when
SRS driver, front passenger and knee
airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such as
the door, windshield glass, side door
glass, front, center and rear pillars, roof
side rail or assist grip.
● Do not hang coat hangers or other hard
objects on the coat hooks. All of these
items could become projectiles and
seriously injure or kill you, should the
SRS curtain shield airbag deploy.
● Vehicles without smart key system: Do
not attach any heavy, sharp or hard
objects such as keys or accessories to
the key. The objects may restrict the
SRS knee airbag inflation or be thrust
into the driver’s seat area by the force
of the deploying airbag, thus causing a
danger.
