components, could lead to major damage or non operation as a result of sudden, unintentional operation of SRS
airbag and pretensioner fitted seatbelts (incorrect deployment).
2.In cases where heating from painting processes occurs, the SRS ECU, driver side airbag module, passenger side
airbag module, pre tensioner fitted seatbelts, and cross springs, should be removed.
