Front Seat (76.70.01)

Removal

WARNING:
- Before any air bag/srs service is performed, at least one minute must elapse after disconnection of the battery positive cable to allow dissipation of back-up power supply energy.
- In the event of a fault rupturing the 10a battery supply fuse (f4 located in the fuse box at the driver end of the fascia) the fuse must not be renewed until the air bag/srs system has been de-activated. Fuses of any other value must never be used as this can cause disarm failure.
- After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generated during combustion that is irritating to the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so may result in air bag deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
- To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any air bag supplemental restraint system (srs) components. To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait one minute. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
