PRECAUTIONS
Take care to observe the following precautions when performing inspection\
s or removal and replacement
of body electrical related parts.
1. SRS AIR±BAG SYSTEM

Work must be started approx. 20 seconds after the ignition is set to the Loc\
k position and the negative
(±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (See page AB±2)

When disconnecting any of the connectors in the SRS AIR±BAG system, be su\
re to Lock the ignition
switch and disconnect the battery negative (±) terminal first. Since the connectors are twin \
lock type
connectors, disconnect the connectors only after releasing the first stage lock.

When connecting SRS AIR±BAG system connectors, be sure to lock them secur\
ely. (If the connectors
are not locked securely, the system may not operate when needed.)

Always store the steering wheel pad with the pad surface facing upward. (Stor\
ing the pad with its
metallic surface up may lead to a serious accident if the air bag inflates for s\
ome reason.)

When installing the spiral cable, be sure the vehicle is in the straight ahe\
ad condition and confirm that
the spiral cable is in the neutral position when it is installed. (See pag\
e BE±40)

INFORMATION LABELS (NOTICE) are attached to the periphery of the air bag componen\
ts. Follow
the NOTICE.
2. MICRO COMPUTER PRESET DRIVING POSITION SYSTEM
Power Seat Control System
Power Mirror Control System
Power Tilt and Telescopic Steering System

If the battery negative (±) terminal is disconnected, the preset driv\
ing positions stored in memory are
erased, so be sure to note the positions and reset them after the battery termi\
nal is reconnected.
3. AUDIO SYSTEM

If the battery negative (±) terminal is disconnected, the preset AM, F\
M 1 and FM 2 stations stored in
memory are erased, so be sure to note the stations and reset them after the battery terminal is
reconnected.

If the battery negative (±) terminal is disconnected, the ºANTI±\
THEFT SYSTEMº will operate when
the terminal is reconnected, but the radio, tape player and CD player will \
not operate. Be sure to input
the correct ID number so that the radio, tape player and CD player can be o\
perated again.
