Removal and Installation
WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an airbag module.
This will reduce the risk of injuring the event of an accidental deployment.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is
irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
NOTE:
-
If a seat equipped with a SRS component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraints control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a SRS fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Only the front passenger seat can come equipped with optional fold-flat backrest.
