^ Do not install rearward-facing child seats in any front passenger seat position.
^ Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air bag.
^ Do not place any objects over the air bag or between the air bag and yourself.

NOTE: The passenger airbag module SRS ignition cable can be disconnected in accordance with the car owner's wishes in markets where this does not conflict with statutory requirements.

The Swedish language decal is used in the Nordic countries (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic and Finnish markets) and is located immediately below the four-language decal.




In the engine compartment, on the suspension turret and the steering column junction
Never remove the steering column or steering gear without first locking the contact reel and removing the steering wheel.
