'05 AVALON_U (L/O 0501) D If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it. D Do not modify or remove any wiring. Do not modify, remove, strike or open any components, such as the steering wheel pad, steering wheel, column cover, dashboard near the front passenger airbag, front passenger airbag cover, front passenger airbag, driver knee airbag or airbag sensor assembly. Doing so may prevent the front airbag system from activating correctly, cause sudden activation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or serious injury. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification. If you wish to modify your vehicle for a person with a physical disability, consult your Toyota dealer. It may dangerously interfere with the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags operation. D Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat of the vehicle and be properly restrained. D Do not put anything or any part of your body on or in front of the dashboard, lower portion of driver's side instrument panel, steering wheel pad that houses the front airbag system or in the areas where the SRS knee airbag will inflate. They might restrict inflation or cause death or serious injury as they are projected rearward by the force of the deploying airbags. Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not hold objects in their arms or on their knees. D Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the rear seat. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see "Child restraint" on page 98 in this Section. 83 2005 AVALON from Jan. '05 Prod. (OM41408U)
