Montego AWD V6-3.0L VIN 1 (2005)
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury from an accidental deployment, always carry or place a live safety canopy module with the safety canopy and
tear seam pointed away from your body. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
-
Anytime the safety canopy has deployed, the headliner, and all A-, B-, and C-pillar, upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be replaced
along with any other damaged components and hardware. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
-
Vehicles equipped with safety canopy modules require a specific headliner. When installing a new headliner on a vehicle equipped with safety
canopy modules, make sure a headliner for safety canopy modules is being used. The word "AIRBAG" will appear on the headliner where it meets
each B-pillar trim panel. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
-
Before installing a safety canopy module, inspect the roof line for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be reworked to its original
condition and structural integrity. All damaged fasteners must be replaced and any foreign objects removed. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
-
Inspect the safety canopy before installation. If the safety canopy is damaged or the cover has separated and the canopy material has been exposed,
a new safety canopy module must be installed. Do not attempt to repair the safety canopy module. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
-
To reduce the risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the safety canopy module. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
-
Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of the safety canopy module or interior trim panel. This will prevent the safety canopy
module from deploying correctly. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
-
Never probe the electrical connector on a safety canopy module. Doing so can result in safety canopy deployment.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
-
The safety canopy must be installed in the vehicle using new torque-prevailing type J-nuts (W520822-S438, 9 per side). Use of this J-nut is
mandatory so as to reduce the risk of loss of fastener effectiveness. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury in the event of
a safety canopy deployment.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the RCM fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal operation and does not indicate
a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
-
The RH side safety canopy module is shown, the LH side is similar.
