WARNING!

After inflation, some airbagcomponents are hot - DO NOTtouch until they have cooled.

An airbag inflates withconsiderable force and can causefacial abrasions and other injuries.The injurious affects of airbaginflation can be minimised, by

ensuring driver and passenger areseated correctly, with the seatmoved back as far as is practical,and the seat belts worn correctly.

NEVER attach accessory items toan airbag module cover (steeringwheel centre pad or fascia panel),which could interfere with theinflation of the airbag or, if theairbag inflates, be propelled insidethe car causing injury to theoccupants.
