Vehicle Damage Warnings
Component Handling
- Oil, grease, water, etc. on components may cause the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belt to fail to deploy in an accident, which may cause serious injury. Do not allow oil, grease, water, etc., on components.
- Inserting a screwdriver, etc. into the connector of an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt may damage the connector and cause the air bag module to deploy improperly, which may cause serious injury. Do not insert any foreign objects into the connector.
Component Reuse
- Even if an air bag module or a pre-tensioner seat belt does not deploy in a collision and does not have any external signs of damage, it may have been damaged internally, which may cause improper operation. Improper operation may cause serious injury. Always self-check the undamaged air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt to determine whether it can be reused. (See FOREWORD.)
