STEERING SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
Care must be taken to replace parts properly because they could affect the pe\
rformance
of the steering system and result in a driving hazard.
The LAND CRUISER is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) suc\
h as the
driver airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service o\
peration in the
correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possi-
bly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal or \
installation of
parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices \
in the RS
section.
