Snow Plow

Snow plows, winches, and other aftermarket equipment should not be added to the front end of your vehicle. The airbag crash sensors may be affected by the change in the front end structure. The airbags could deploy unexpectedly or could fail to deploy during a collision.

WARNING!
Do not add a snow plow, winches, or any other aftermarket equipment to the front of your vehicle.

This could adversely affect the functioning of the airbag system and you could be injured.
