Observe these precautions when servicing the air bag system:

 When working around SRS components and before any repairs are performed, disable air bag system. See

DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .

 Before straightening any damage to body, or before performing electrical arc-welding, disable air bag

system. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM

 Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed air bag module. Air bag module may

contain sodium hydroxide deposits which are irritating to the skin.

 Always use control module and impact sensors made by same manufacturer. Using components produced

by different manufacturers could cause accidental air bag or ETR deployment.

 DO NOT repair any portion of SRS wiring harness.

 If any SRS component is dropped from a height greater than 1.6 feet (0.5 m), it must be replaced.

 If SRS components show signs of damage, they must be replaced.

 Always handle air bag module with trim cover facing away from your body.

 Always place air bag module on workbench with trim cover up, away from loose objects.

 DO NOT expose any SRS component to temperatures in excess of 212°F (100°C ).

 DO NOT expose any SRS component to grease, oil or cleaning agents.
