INSTALLATION

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

NOTE: A passenger airbag on/off switch is used only on standard cab vehicles (except light-duty DR 1500) equipped with dual front airbags. Quad cab, mega cab and light-duty DR 1500 standard cab vehicles have a cubby bin installed in the instrument panel center bezel in place of the on/off switch.





1. Position the passenger airbag on/off switch and bezel unit (3) to the back of the center bezel (1).
2. Install and tighten the three screws (2) that secure the passenger airbag on/off switch bezel to the back of the center bezel. Tighten the screws to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.).
3. Reinstall the center bezel onto the instrument panel. Instrument Panel Center Bezel - Installation .
4. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) verification test procedure should be performed following service of any SRS component. Verification Tests .
