WARNING: Always carry or place a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door/trim cover/tear seam pointed away from the
body. Do not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door/trim cover/tear seam face down. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, Safety Canopy(R) or side air curtain modules. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in the accidental deployment of these modules, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on safety belt buckle/retractor pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the safety belt pretensioners or adaptive load limiting retractors, which
increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas
for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed
whether or not the air bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM
is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy(R)
and cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of accidental deployment, do not use any memory saver devices. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
serious personal injury or death.
NOTE: The air bag warning indicator illuminates when the correct Restraints Control Module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON.
NOTE: The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

sensors or the restraints control module (RCM). Nearby components include doors, instrument panel, console, door latches, strikers, seats
and hood latches.
Refer to the Description and Operation of Air Bag Systems for location of the RCM and impact sensor(s).
To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait at least 1 minute. Be sure to disconnect
