Customer Safety Information


SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (COUPE)

The Legend Coupe includes a driver side Airbag, located in the steering wheel hub, as part of a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Servicing, disassembling or replacing these items will require special caution and tools and should therefore be done by a properly trained technician.

WARNING:
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which can lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal collision, all maintenance must be performed by a properly trained technician.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the airbag.
All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are covered with yellow outer insulation, and related components are located in the steering column, center console, dash, and front fenders. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.


CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM

1. The catalytic converter routinely reaches operating temperatures of 650 °C (1200 °F). Do not park the vehicle over any object or material that could ignite (i.e. dry leaves, cardboard, puddles of oil, or other combustibles). The catalytic converter will also stay hot for some time after the engine has been shut off.
2. Parts of the exhaust gases (carbon monoxide) are toxic. Do not run the engine in confined areas or breathe concentrated exhaust gases. Breathing exhaust gases may cause loss of consciousness or even death.
3. Repair any leaks in the exhaust system as soon as possible. Hot gases escaping from the leak can ignite flammable materials and may set the vehicle on fire.
4. Be alert for fuel odors and excessive tailpipe emission output (black smoke etc...), these are problem indicators.
