PRECAUTION
1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON STEERING SYSTEM
(a) Care must be taken when replacing parts. Incorrect
replacement could affect the performance of the
steering system and result in a driving hazard.
2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON SRS AIRBAG
SYSTEM
(a) The vehicle is equipped with SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and
front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service
operation in correct sequence could cause the SRS
to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly
leading to a serious accident. Before servicing
(including removal or installation of parts, inspection
or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary
notice for the supplemental restraint system (See
page RS-1).
