SERVICE WARNINGS

Disassembling and reassembling the components of the air bag system can render the system inoperative, which may result in serious injury or death in the event of an accident. Do not disassemble any air bag system components.

Incorrectly repairing an air bag system wiring harness can accidently deploy the air bag, which can cause serious injury. If a problem is found in the system wiring, replace the wiring harness. Do not try to repair it.

Inspecting the air bag module with an ohmmeter can deploy the air bag, which can cause serious injury. Do not use an ohmmeter to inspect the air bag module.

A live (undeployed) air bag may accidently deploy when it is handled and cause serious injury. When carrying a live air bag module, point the trim cover away from your body to lessen the chance of injury in case it deploys. A live air bag placed face down on a surface is dangerous. If the air bag deploys, the motion of the module can cause serious injury. Always face the trim cover up to reduce the motion of the module in case it accidently deploys.
