warning could result in occupant injuries upon airbag deployment.
NOTE: The following procedures can be used to replace the passenger airbag door. If the passenger airbag is deployed, the passenger airbag
unit and the airbag door must both be replaced.
1. Place the passenger airbag door (1) on a suitable work surface with the airbag retainer/receptacle (4) facing up. Be certain to take the proper
precautions to prevent the airbag door from receiving cosmetic damage during the following procedures.
2. Carefully position the passenger airbag housing (2) into the airbag door receptacle with the cushion side facing the door.
3. Work around the perimeter of the unit engaging each of the 11 hooks (3) on the housing through the windows in the upper and lower walls of the
airbag door retainer/receptacle.
4. After the passenger airbag has been assembled, try pulling the airbag door and the airbag housing away from each other. Visually verify that this
action has fully seated all of the windows of the airbag door retainer/receptacle into the cradles of the airbag housing hooks.
5. Reinstall the passenger airbag into the instrument panel.See: Removal and Replacement/Passenger Airbag - Installation.
