WARNINGS:
To avoid accidental deployment, the restraints control module backup power supply must be depleted. Wait at least one
minute after disconnecting the battery ground cable(s) before commencing any repair or adjustment to the supplemental
restraint system (SRS), or any component(s) adjacent to the SRS sensors. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
personal injury.
Always wear safety glasses when working on an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling an air bag module. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
To minimize the possibility of premature deployment, do not use radio key code savers when working on the
supplemental restraint system. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
To minimize the possibility of injury in the event of premature deployment, always carry a live air bag module with the
bag and trim cover pointed away from the body. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
To minimize the possibility of premature deployment, live air bag modules must only be placed on work benches which
have been ground bonded and with the trim cover facing up. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
Never probe the electrical connectors of air bag modules or any other supplemental restraint system component. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Painting over the driver air bag module trim cover or instrument panel could lead to deterioration of the trim cover and air
bags. Do not for any reason attempt to paint discoloured or damaged air bag module trim covers or instrument panel. Install a
new component. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
The front passenger seat occupant classification sensor is available only as a service kit. No attempt should be made to
replace individual components. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Check for correct operation of the front seat after completion of the procedure to make sure that the wiring harness has
not become trapped or stretched.
