Please read the following precautions carefully before performing removal of the airbag. Observe the instructions described in below, or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or serious injury.

• Always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work. NOTE: The contents in the memory in the airbag control module are not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
• Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformations.

• Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always disconnect the SRS connectors.

• Do not put objects on the passenger’s airbag assembly.

For temporary storage of the airbag during service, please observe the following precautions.

• Store the removed airbag with pad surface up. Never put anything on the removed airbag assembly.

• Keep free from oil, grease, detergent, or water to prevent damage to the airbag and seat belt tensioner assembly.

• Store the removed airbag on a secure flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding 93°C/200°F). Do not store the airbag inside the vehicle.

• Do not position yourself in front of the airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or replacement. Should it accidentally deploy, you could be seriously injured.
