n SRS airbag precautions
l Side airbags: Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the
SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.
l Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components (→P. 66).
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
l Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
l Vehicles with side airbags and curtain
shield airbags: Do not attach anything
to areas such as the door, windshield
glass, side door glass, front and rear
pillars, roof side rail or assist grip.
l Curtain shield airbags: 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.
