CAUTION
CAUTION |
• |
When servicing
a vehicle, be sure to turn the ignition switch to OFF, disconnect
the ground cable from battery, and wait for more than 20 seconds before
starting work.
|
• |
The airbag system is fitted with a backup power source.
If the airbag system is serviced within 20 seconds after the ground
cable is disconnected, it may inflate.
|
• |
If sensors, airbag module, airbag control module, pretensioner,
and harness are deformed or damaged, replace them with new genuine
parts.
|
• |
Do not use the airbag system and pretensioners on other
vehicles. When replacing parts, be sure to replace them with new
parts.
|
• |
When checking the airbag system, be sure to use a digital
circuit tester. Use of an analog circuit tester may cause the airbag
to activate erroneously.
|
• |
When checking, use a test harness. Do not directly apply
the tester probe to any connector terminal of the airbag.
|
• |
If any damage, opening, or rust is found on the airbag
system wire harness, do not attempt to repair using soldering equipment.
Be sure to replace the faulty harness with a new genuine part.
|
• |
Install the wire harness securely with the specified
clips to avoid interference or tangled up with other parts.
|
• |
Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with the
connector terminals. Do not touch the connector terminals.
|
• |
Either of the airbag modules for driver, passenger or
side, or pretensioner must not be disassembled.
|
• |
The airbag module cannot be used again if once inflated.
|
• |
After removal, keep the airbag module with the pad facing
upward on a dry, clean, and flat surface away from heat and light
sources, and moisture and dust.
|
• |
Do not check continuity of either of the airbag modules
for driver, passenger or side, or pretensioner.
|
• |
The removed front seat with the airbag module must be
kept at least 200 mm (8 in) away from walls and other objects.
|
• |
When painting or performing sheet metal work on the
front part of the vehicle, including the front wheel apron, front
fender, and front side frame, remove the front sub sensors and wire
harness of the airbag system.
|
• |
Do not discard undeployed airbag modules. They could
easily cause a serious accident if accidentally deployed.
