AIRBAG OBSTRUCTION [G2283682]

WARNING:

Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See AIRBAG SAFETY.

WARNING:

WARNING:

Never place objects over or near the airbag on the instrument panel. Objects can cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate.

Examples of obstructions include:

  1. Any part of an occupant’s body in contact with, or close to, an airbag cover.
  2. Objects placed on, or close to, an airbag cover.
  3. Clothing, sun screens, or other material hanging from grab handles.
