s01ah06
WARNING
. To avoid accidental activation of
the system or rendering the system
inoperative, which may result in
serious injury, no modifications
should be made to any compo-
nents or wiring of the SRS airbag
system.
This includes following modifica-
tions.
– Installation of custom steering
wheels
– Attachment of additional trim
materials to the dashboard
– Installation of custom seats
– Replacement of seat fabric or
leather
– Installation of additional fabric
or leather on the front seat
– Attachment of a hands-free
microphone or any other ac-
cessory to a front pillar, a
center pillar, a rear pillar, the
windshield, a side window, an
assist grip, or any other cabin
surface that would be near a
deploying SRS curtain airbag.
– Installation of additional elec-
trical/electronic equipment
such as a mobile two-way radio
on or near the SRS airbag
system components and/or
wiring is not advisable. This
could interfere with proper op-
eration of the SRS airbag
system.
– Modifications on or inside the
front door panels for the pur-
pose of a speaker replacement
or sound insulation
. The impact sensors, which detect
the pressure of an impact, are
located in the doors. Do not modify
any components of the doors or
door trims, such as the addition of
door speakers for example. Any
modifications to the doors will
create a risk of the airbag system
becoming inoperative or unin-
tended airbag deployment.
. Installation of a tire of different size
and construction from the tires
specified on the vehicle placard
attached to the driver’s door pillar
or specified for individual vehicle
models in this Owner’s Manual.
CAUTION
Do not perform any of the following
modifications. Such modifications can
interfere with proper operation of the
SRS airbag system.
