C. General Warnings for Air Bag
Do not check the circuits with a circuit tester. Do not attempt to modify any air bag component
including the steering wheel, air bag mountings and related wirings.
Do not subject any air bag component, such as the steering wheel, air bag mountings, wirings, to
impacts. You might get severely injured by sudden deployment of the air bag.
As the air bag/seat belt pretensioner parts are very hot after being deployed. Allow them to cool
down sufficiently before touching them.
The deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner cannot deploy again. It will work when an additional
impact is applied. The components of the deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner are non-reusable
parts. Therefore, remove or replace them as a unit.
The air bag and seat belt pretensioner systems contain explosive charges, so handle carefully when
disposing or replacing them.
Incorrect inspection can result in serious injuries or malfunctions in the air bag and seat belt
pretensioner system.
The air bag warning lamp is illuminated for 3 to 7 sec. after the engine is started to check the system.
Drive the vehicle after this warning lamp is turned off. If this warning lamp stays ON, the system may

3. CAUTIONS FOR POWER SEAT
You can operate the power seat with the ignition switch OFF. However, frequent operation of the
seat switch with the engine stopped can result in battery becoming discharged.
Operating more than one seat adjustment switch at the same time can cause damage to the seat
motor. Therefore, operate the seat switch only one at a time.
Do not use organic solvents such as benzene, thinner, alcohol or gasoline to prevent the seat cove
r
from being damaged while cleaning.
Do not operate the seat position adjustment switch forcefully when the seat does not move or it
contacts an object.
If the power seat is not operated, check and correct the problem before driving off. ▷
