Precautions and Procedures {cont'dl
SRS Unit, Front lmpact Sensors, and Side
lmpact Sensors
. Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front
impact sensors, or side impact sensors whenever the
ignition switch is ON (ll), or for at least 3 minules after
the ignition switch is turned OFF.
. During installation orreplacement, be careful notto
bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area
around the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and sjde
impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy
and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt
tensioners were deployed. replace the SRS unit, front
impact sensors, and other related components (see
page 23-112). After a collision in which a side airbag
was deployed. replace the side impact sensor on the
deployed side and the SRS unit. After a collision in
which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the
SRS unit, front impact sensors, and the side impact
sensors. lf there is any damage, replace the SRS unit
and/or the sensors.

.j
. Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors,
or side impact sensors.
. Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery
negative cable, and wait at least 3 minules before
beginning installation or replacement of the SBS unit,
or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
. Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors, and side
impact sensors are installed securely. with the
mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m,7.2 lbf.ft)
. Do not spill wateroroil on the SRS unit, front impact
sensors, or the side impact sensors, and keep them
away from dust.
. Store the SRS unit, front imDact sensors and side
impact sensors in a cool (less than 104"F/40'C) and
