Removal and Installation

WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
- Never probe the connectors on the air bag module or pretensioner. Doing so may result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and may result in personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner. Never probe a pretensioner electrical connector. Doing so may result in pretensioner or air bag deployment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
