or wiring, including the addition of
any kind of badges to the pad

the air bag covers and proper

䳜 No objects should be placed over
or near the air bag modules on
the steering wheel, instrument

panel above the glove box,
because any such object could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the
air bags to inflate.
