OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS D If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck. The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls. Front passenger seat Front seats CAUTION The SRS front side airbags are installed in the driver and front passenger seats. Observe the following precautions. D Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use, since the front side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, you may be killed or severely injured. CAUTION The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright. D Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the front side airbags inflate. Such accessories may prevent the front side airbags from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury. D Do not modify or replace the front seats or upholstery of the seats equipped with front side airbags. Such change may prevent the side airbag system from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the front side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury. 139
