W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent. A modified vehicle ma[...]

If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy the airbags when the ORC and impact sensors detect a moderate-to- severe collision, to help restrain the vehicle passengers, and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system. This does not mean something is [...]

W ARNING! Deployed airbags, front seat belt pretensioners and driver inflatable knee blocker cannot protect you in another collision.
