HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON RELATED COMPONENTS
1. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Locations of SRS Components
Servicing vehicle with a Supplemental Restraint System (referred to as the SRS in the remainder of this
manual) installed.
When handling SRS components (removal, installation or inspection, etc.), always follow the directions
given in the repair manual for the relevant model year to prevent the occurrence of accidents and airbag
malfunction.
Also take the following precautions when repairing the body:

Work must be started after 90 seconds or longer from the time the ignition switch is set to the LOCK
position and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The airbag system is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is started within 90 sec-
onds of disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be deployed.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio
systems will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memorized by each
memory system. Then when work is finished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
When the vehicle has tilt and telescopic steering, power seat, outside rear view mirror and power shoul-
der belt anchorage, which are all equipped with memory function, it is not possible to make a record of
the memory contents. So when the operation is finished, it will be necessary to explain this fact to the
customer, and request the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.

When using electric welding, first disconnect the SRS connector (yellow color and 2 pins) under the
steering column near the combination switch connector on the glove compartment finish plate and
lower the front scuff plate before starting work.
