This includes the following modifications.

wheels

materials to the dashboard

or any other accessory
to a front pillar, a center pillar, a
rear pillar, the windshield, a side

other cabin surface that would be
near a deploying SRS curtain
airbag
- Installation of additional electrical/
electronic equipment such as
a mobile two-way radio on or
near the SRS airbag system
components and/or wiring is not
advisable. This could interfere
