WARNING!
•
No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument
panel, because any such objects could cause
harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough
to cause the air bag to inflate.
•
Do not put anything on or around the air bag
covers or attempt to open them manually. You
may damage the air bags and you could be
injured because the air bags may no longer be
functional.The protective covers for the air bag
cushions are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
•
Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee
bolster in any way.
•
Do not mount any accessories to the knee
bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB)
SAB may provide enhanced protection to help protect
an occupant during a side impact. The SAB is marked
with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the
front seats. (fig. 135)
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam between
the front and side of the seat's trim cover. Each air bag
deploys independently; a left side impact deploys the
left air bag only and a right-side impact deploys the
right air bag only.
