SEAT BELT SYSTEM
B: CAUTION
•Before starting the work, turn the ignition switch
to OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable and
wait for 20 seconds or more.
•The pretensioner system has a backup power
source. The pretensioner might deploy if you do not
wait for 20 seconds or more before starting work.
•Do not drop or apply any impact to the preten-
sioner.
•If oil, grease or water gets on the pretensioner,
wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth.
•Do not expose the pretensioner to high tempera-
ture or flame.
•Do not allow current to flow through or voltage to
reach the pretensioner. Do not use a circuit tester
to check resistance of the pretensioner.
•Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the pre-
tensioner. If it is dented, cracked or deformed, re-
place it with a new one.
•Do not use the airbag or pretensioner parts from
other vehicles. Always replace parts with new
parts.
•When handling a seat belt with deployed preten-
sioner, wear gloves and goggles. Wash your hands
afterwards.
•Do not reuse a seat belt with deployed preten-
sioner.
•If material from the airbag enters the eyes or con-
tacts skin during deployment, wash it away with
clean water, and then consult a doctor.

•Before disassembling or reassembling parts, al-
ways disconnect the battery ground cable from bat-
tery. When repairing the audio, control module, etc.
which are provided with memory functions, record
the memory contents before disconnecting the
ground cable from battery. Otherwise, these con-
tents are erased upon disconnection.
•Reassemble the parts in the reverse order of dis-
assembly unless otherwise indicated.
•Adjust the parts to the specifications described in
this manual if so designated.
•Connect the connectors securely during reas-
sembly.
•After reassembly, ensure the functional parts op-
erate smoothly.
•The air bag system wiring harness is routed near
electrical parts and switches.
•Airbag system wiring harnesses and connectors
are yellow. Do not use the electrical test equipment
on these circuits.
