inflates, this could cause serious injury.
Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be performed by a
professional installer/technician qualified in the requirements for such
installations. An airbag's size, shape, and deployment area can vary by
vehicle make, model, and front compartment configuration (e.g., bench seat
vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer's corporate headquarters, if necessary, for
specific airbag information for the vehicle make, model, and front
compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment
installation.
Important Note:
If a vehicular repeater is installed, verify operation of the repeater before
leaving the vicinity of the vehicle.
