Steering: Service Precautions

WARNING:
^ THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NECESSARY FOR THE AIR BAG MODULE DEPLOYMENT IS POWERED DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY. TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY, THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO SERVICING OR REPLACING ANY AIR BAG (SRS) SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
^ SEE Air Bags and Seat Belts AND FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS AND PROPER PROCEDURES.

CAUTION:
Replacement Fasteners
Suspension fasteners are IMPORTANT attaching parts in that they could affect performance of vital components and systems, and/or could result in major service expense. They MUST be replaced with ones of the same part number or with equivalent parts if replacement becomes necessary. DO NOT use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design.
Fastener Tightening/Torque
Torque values must be as specified during assembly for proper retention of parts. New fasteners must be used whenever old fasteners are loosened or removed and when new components are installed.
Bending/Heating
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any suspension part. Replace with a new part.
