Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions
WARNING:
-
To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing
any front or side air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components and before servicing, replacing, adjusting or striking
components near the front or side air bag sensors, such as doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats and hood latches.
-
Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event
of an accidental deployment.
-
Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental
deployment.
-
The air bag simulators must be removed and the air bag modules reconnected when the system is reactivated to avoid non-deployment in
a collision, resulting in possible personal injury.
