WARNING: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 could result in pretensioner or air bag deployment and could result in personal injury.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:If a seat equipped with a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component is being serviced, the SRS must be depowered.
