It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the
airbags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners (if
equipped) cannot protect you in another collision.
Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the
front passenger seat belt retractor assembly, replaced
by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
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 if the airbag system is not there
to protect you. Do not modify the components
or wiring, including adding any kind of badges
or stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover
or the upper right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle body
structure, or add aftermarket side steps or run-
ning boards.
• You need proper knee impact protection in a
collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermar-
ket equipment on or behind the knee bolsters.
• It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the
airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it has an airbag
system.
