SRS Unit, Impact Sensors, Driver's Seat Position Sensor, Front Passenger's Weight Sensors, and Roll Rate Sensor

- Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, or the roll rate sensor whenever the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.




- During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around the SRS unit, front impact sensors, the side impact sensors, or the roll rate sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.




- After a collision in which the airbags, the side airbags, the side curtain airbags, or the seat belt tensioners were deployed, go to component replacement/inspection after deployment. After a collision during which the airbags, the side airbags, or the side curtain airbags did not deploy, inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit, front impact sensors, the side impact sensors, and the roll rate sensor. If there is any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the sensors.
- Do not disassemble the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, driver's seat position sensor, front passenger's weight sensors, or the roll rate sensor.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the negative cable from the battery and wait at least 3 minutes before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting the connectors from the SRS unit and any SRS component.
- Be sure the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, and the roll rate sensor are installed securely with the mounting bolts torqued to 9.8 N-m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 lbf-ft)
- Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit, or the side impact sensors, and keep them away from dust.
- Store the SRS unit, front impact sensors, side impact sensors, and the roll rate sensor in a cool (less than 104° F (40° C) and dry (less than 80 % relative humidity, no moisture) area.
