WARNING
If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate
properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or
even death.
The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear. Do not put anything between
an occupant and an airbag, and do not attach or put anything on the steering
wheel hub or on or near any other airbag covering.
Do not use seat accessories that block the inflation path of a seat-mounted
side impact airbag.
Never secure anything to the roof of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags by
routing a rope or tie—down through any door or window opening. If you do, the
path of an inflating roof-rail airbag will be blocked.
