Adding equipment to or modify-
ing your air bag-equipped vehicle

your vehicle's frame, bumper system,
front door, front end or side sheet metal
or ride height, this may affect the opera-
tion of your vehicle's air bag system.

Air bag warning labels, some required by
the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety

WARNING
• Sitting improperly or out of posi-
tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc-
ture or be thrown from the vehicle
resulting in serious injury or
death.
• Always sit upright with the seat-
back in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with
your seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and your feet on
the floor.
• Always have the ignition OFF in
an abnormal situation. The side
air bags may inflate if the vehicle
is tilted such as when being
towed because the rollover sen-
sor detects it as a rollover situa-
tion.
• Be careful not to cause impact to
the doors when the ignition is
ON. The air bags may inflate.
