Vehicle Damage Warnings
^ Do not use a circuit tester to check SRS circuits.^ Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch "OFF", disconnect battery ground cable and wait for at least 10 minutes. (If equipped with "FULL-ACTIVE SUSPENSION", do not disconnect battery terminals for approximately 2 minutes after stopping the engine. Doing so may change vehicle height.) For approximately ten minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag to inflate. Therefore, do not work on any air bag system connectors or wires until at least ten minutes have passed.
^ SRS sensors must always be installed with their arrow marks "<-" facing the front of the vehicle for proper operation. Also check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before installation and replace as required.
^ The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
^ After removing any SRS parts, discard old bolts and replace with new ones. Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function.
^ If front of vehicle is damaged in a collision, always check the crash zone sensor and the wiring harness.
^ After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced.
