Driver Knee Blocker Airbag
The most visible part of the Driver Knee Blocker Airbag is the knee blocker trim cover. The knee blocker trim cover and airbag are mounted directly to the instrument panel structure below the steering column. When supplied with the proper electrical signal, the inflator discharges the gas directly into the airbag. The airbag cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in any way damaged.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY ANY PART OF YOUR ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE AIRBAG MAY INFLATE ACCIDENTALLY OR MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF MODIFICATIONS ARE MADE. TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR ANY ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM SERVICE. IF YOUR SEAT INCLUDING YOUR TRIM COVER AND CUSHION NEEDS TO BE SERVICED IN ANY WAY (INCLUDING REMOVAL OR LOOSENING/TIGHTENING OF SEAT ATTACHMENT BOLTS), TAKE THE VEHICLE TO YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER. ONLY MANUFACTURER APPROVED SEAT ACCESSORIES MAY BE USED. CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER IF IT IS NECESSARY TO MODIFY AN ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.
