WARNING
Using solvents or other improper cleaning products on surfaces where airbags are located
can change the way airbags deploy in a crash.
ꢀ
Products containing solvents will change the properties of the plastics and may cause
plastic parts to break and fly around when the airbag deploys in a crash, causing injury.
Never use solvents or cleaners on the steering wheel horn pad or on the instrument panel
ꢀ
because they can damage the airbag cover or change the stiffness or strength of the material
so that the airbag cannot deploy and protect properly.
ꢀ When cleaning the horn pad and instrument panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or a cloth
moistened with plain water.
