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. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before further service.
2. Remove the passenger airbag from the instrument panel. See: Removal and Replacement/Passenger Airbag - Removal.
3. Place the passenger airbag on a suitable work surface with the passenger airbag door (1) facing down. If the airbag door will be reused, be certain
to take the proper precautions to prevent the airbag door from receiving cosmetic damage during the following procedures.
4. Disengage each of the upper hooks of the airbag housing (2) from the windows in the upper wall of the receptacle (4) on the back of the airbag
door. To disengage the hooks, use hand pressure to push the adjacent edge of the airbag housing firmly and evenly downward into the airbag door
receptacle, while at the same time pulling outward on that edge of the receptacle wall.
5. With all of the upper hooks disengaged, roll the top of the airbag housing upward to disengage the lower hooks (3) then lift the housing, inflator
and cushion from the receptacle on the back of the passenger airbag door.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, Occupant Classification System (OCS), seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the
system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, service of this unit should be performed only by DaimlerChrysler-trained and authorized dealer
service technicians. Failure to take the proper precautions or to follow the proper procedures could result in accidental, incomplete, or
improper airbag deployment and possible occupant injuries.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, use extreme care to prevent any foreign material from entering the passenger airbag, or becoming
entrapped between the passenger airbag cushion and the passenger airbag door. Failure to observe this warning could result in occupant
injuries upon airbag deployment.
