WARNING!
• Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers
or attempt to manually open them. You may damage the
airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are
no longer functional. These protective covers for the
airbag cushions are designed to open only when the

attach cup holders or any other objects on or around the
door. The inflating side airbag could drive the objects
into occupants, causing serious injury.
• Do not cover or place items on the airbag covers. These
items may cause serious injury during inflation.
• Do not store or place items under the front seats. You
may damage the airbag wiring harnesses.

front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol-
sters to provide improved protection for the driver and
front passenger. Side airbags also work with seat belts to
improve occupant protection.

of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to
severe frontal collisions.
NOTE: The passenger front airbag may not deploy even
when the driver front airbag has if the Occupant Classi-
