Accessories

~1min read

When installing accessories, check the following:

  • Do not install accessories on the windshield. They can obstruct your view and delay your reaction to driving conditions.
  • Do not install accessories over areas marked SRS AIRBAG, on the sides or backs of the front seats, on front or side pillars, or near the side windows.

    Accessories installed in these areas may interfere with proper operation of the vehicle's airbags or may be propelled into you or another occupant if the airbags deploy.

  • Be sure electronic accessories do not overload electrical circuits or interfere with proper operation of your vehicle.
  • Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact a dealer for assistance. If possible, have a dealer inspect the final installation.
