-
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning installation or
replacement of the SRS unit or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit.
-
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front impact sensors, rear safing sensor, or side impact sensors when 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,
rear safing sensor, or side impact sensors. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
-
After a collision in which a front airbag, side airbag, side curtain airbag, or seat belt tensioner deployed, go to Component Replacement/Inspection
after Deployment. After a collision in which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS
unit, front impact sensors, rear safing sensor, and side impact sensors. Replace all damaged parts.
-
Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, driver's seat position sensor, front passenger's weight sensor unit, rear
safing sensor, and front passenger's weight sensors.
-
Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors, rear safing sensor, and side impact sensors 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, rear safing sensor, and side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104 °F/40 °C) and dry (less than 80 %
relative humidity, no moisture) area.
