WARNING: Never place your arm over the airbag module as a
deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other

injuries.

To properly position yourself away from the airbag:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the

pedals comfortably.

• Recline the seat slightly one or two degrees from the upright position.

WARNING: Do not put anything on or over the airbag module.
Placing objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause

those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso
causing serious injury.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the
airbag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. Contact your

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING: The front passenger airbag is not designed to offer
protection to an occupant in the center front seating position.

WARNING: Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of
the vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure

and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the
vehicle.

WARNING: Additional equipment such as snowplow equipment
may effect the performance of the airbag sensors increasing the

risk of injury. Please refer to the Body Builders Layout Book for
instructions about the appropriate installation of additional equipment.
