-
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then wait for 3 minutes before starting installation or replacement of
the SRS unit, or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit and any SRS component.
-
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, or the roll rate sensor whenever the ignition switch is ON
(II), or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
-
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit, front impact sensors,
the side impact sensors, or the roll rate sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.

After a collision where a front airbags, a side airbags, a side curtain airbags, or a seat belt tensioners were deployed, go to Component
Replacement/Inspection After Deployment. After a collision where the airbags, the side airbags, or the side curtain airbags did not deploy, inspect
for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit, front impact sensors, the side impact sensors, and the roll rate sensor. If there is any damage,
replace the SRS unit and/or the sensors.
-
Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, driver's seat position sensor, front passenger's weight sensors, or the
roll rate sensor.
-
Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, and the roll rate sensor are installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to
9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft)
-
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors, and keep them away from dust.
-
Store the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, and the roll rate sensor in a cool (less than 104 °F/40 °C) and dry (less than 80 %
relative humidity, no moisture) area.
