Wiring Precautions




- Never attempt to modify, splice or repair the airbag wiring. Never install electronic equipment such as; a mobile telephone, two-way radio or in-car entertainment system in such a way that it interferes electrically with the airbag wiring.




- Always ensure airbag wiring is routed correctly. Be careful to avoid trapping or pinching the airbag wiring. Look for possible points of chaffing.

- Always use specified earth fixings tightened to the correct torque. Poor earthing can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose.




- Ensure all airbag harness connectors are mated correctly and securely fastened. Do not leave the connectors hanging loose.
