SIR DISABLING AND ENABLING ZONE 5

DISABLING PROCEDURE




1. Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle wheels are pointing straight ahead.

IMPORTANT: Perform this procedure in order to prevent deployment of the air bags from the reserve energy supply power.

2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Remove the F8 fuse.
