Maintaining Your Airbag System
WARNING!
•
Modifications to any part of the airbag system
could cause it to fail when you need it. You could
be injured because the airbag is not there to protect
you. Do not modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of badges or stickers to
the airbag covers. Do not modify the front bumper
or vehicle body structure.
•
You need proper knee impact protection in a colli-
sion. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket
equipment on or behind the knee impact bolsters.
•
You can be injured if you are too close to either
airbag cover when the airbags inflate. It is danger-
ous to try to repair any part of the airbag system
yourself. Don’t try to repair the airbag system. Be
sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that
it has airbags.
You will want to have the airbags ready for your protec-
tion in a collision. While the airbag Supplemental Re-
straint System (SRS) is designed to be maintenance free,
if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer
service the system immediately.
