WARNING

•

Do not place any objects on the steering wheel

ing column and near the front door finishers

and the front seats. Do not place any objects

between any occupants and the steering

wheel pad, on the instrument panel, and near

the front door finishers and the front seats.

Such objects may become dangerous projec-

inflates.

•

Immediately after inflation, several supple-

Do not touch them: you may severely burn

yourself.

•

No unauthorised changes should be made to

any components or wiring of the supplemen-
