Chrysler 2008 300 SRT - Manual (Page 54)

WARNING!
• If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat
mounted side airbags, do not use accessory seat covers or
place objects between you and the seat airbags; the perfor-
mance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be
pushed into you, causing serious injury.
• If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat
mounted side airbags, do not attach cupholders or any other
objects on or around the door. The inflating seat airbag could
drive the object into occupants, causing serious injury.
• If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental side curtain
airbags, do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough
to block the location of the side curtain airbag. The area
where the side curtain airbag is located should remain free
from any obstructions.
• If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental side curtain
airbags, do not have any accessory items installed which will
alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do
not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts
or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill
into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
NOTE: Do not use a clothing bar mounted to the coat
hooks in this vehicle. A clothing bar will impede the
proper performance of the curtain airbags.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the
instrument panel knee bolsters to provide improved
protection for the driver and front passenger. Side curtain
and seat airbags also work with seat belts to improve
occupant protection.
While the seat belts are designed to protect you in many
types of collisions, the front airbags will deploy in
moderate to severe frontal collisions. For vehicles so
equipped, the supplemental side curtain airbag and front
seat mounted side airbag on the crash side of the vehicle
will also trigger in moderate to severe side collisions.
However, even in collisions where the airbags deploy,
you need the seat belts to keep you in the correct position
for the airbags to protect you properly.
