Other supplemental front air bag precautions

WARNING

￿Do not place any objects on the steering wheel pad or on the instru- ment panel. Also, do not place any objects between any occupant and the steering wheel or instrument panel. Such objects may become dangerous projectiles and cause in- jury if the supplemental front air bag inflates.

￿Do not place objects with sharp edges on the seat. Also, do not place heavy objects on the seat that will leave permanent impressions in the seat. Such objects can damage the seat or occupant classification sen- sor (pattern sensor). This can affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.

￿Do not use water or acidic cleaners (hot steam cleaners) on the seat. This can damage the seat or occupant

classification sensor. This can also affect the operation of the air bag system and result in serious personal injury.

￿Immediately after inflation, several front air bag system components will be hot. Do not touch them; you may severely burn yourself.

￿No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the supplemental air bag system. This is to prevent accidental inflation of the supplemental air bag or dam- age to the supplemental air bag sys- tem.

￿Do not make unauthorized changes to your vehicle’s electrical system, suspension system or front end structure. This could affect proper operation of the supplemental front air bag system.

￿Tampering with the supplemental front air bag system may result in serious personal injury. Tampering includes changes to the steering

wheel and the instrument panel as- sembly by placing material over the steering wheel pad and above the instrument panel or by installing ad- ditional trim material around the air bag system.

￿Modifying or tampering with the front passenger seat may result in serious personal injury. For example, do not change the front seats by placing material on the seat cushion or by installing additional trim material, such as seat covers, on the seat that are not specifically designed to as- sure proper air bag operation. Addi- tionally, do not stow any objects un- der the front passenger seat or the seat cushion and seatback. Such ob- jects may interfere with the proper operation of the occupant classifica- tion sensor.

￿No unauthorized changes should be made to any components or wiring of the seat belt system. This may affect the supplemental front air bag sys-
