warning

Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.

Before servicing, ignition switch OFF, disconnect battery negative terminal and wait for 3 minutes or more (discharges electricity held in the additional power supply circuit of the air bag diagnosis sensor unit).
Before disconnecting the air bag sensor unit harness connector, be sure to disconnect each harness connector of the air bag modules, seat belt pre-tensioners and lap pre-tensioner to prevent air bag deployment by static electricity and seat belt pre-tensioner operation.
Never use air tools or electric tools for servicing (prevents the air bag diagnosis sensor unit from activating unexpectedly due to vibration).
