Technician Safety Information

To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the following instructions must be carefully observed.
Proper service and repair are important to the safety of the service technician and the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. If part replacement is necessary, the part must be replaced with one of the same part number or with an equivalent part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality.
The service procedures recommended and described are effective methods of performing service and repair. Some of these procedures require the use of tools specifically designed for the purpose.
Accordingly, anyone who intends to use a replacement part, service procedure, or tool that is not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer must first determine that neither his safety nor the safe operation of the vehicle will be jeopardized by the replacement part, service procedure, or tool selected.
It is important to note that this contains various "Cautions" and "Notices" that must be carefully observed in order to reduce the risk of personal injury during service or repair or the possibility that improper service or repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to understand that these "Cautions" and "Notices" are not exhaustive; it is impossible to warn of all the possible hazardous consequences that might result from failure to follow these instructions.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint Systems (SIR). Refer to "CAUTIONS" under "On-Vehicle Service" and the Restraint Systems Component and Wiring Location views in "Restraint Systems" before performing service on or around Restraint Systems components or wiring. Failure to follow "CAUTIONS" could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury, otherwise unneeded Restraint Systems system repairs.
To help avoid accidental air bag deployment and personal injury, when servicing a vehicle that requires repair of the Restraint Systems system and another vehicle system, it is recommended that the Restraint Systems be repaired first.

CAUTION:
Saturn Service is intended for professional, qualified technicians. Attempting repairs or service without the appropriate training, tools, and equipment could cause injury to you or others and damage to your vehicle that may cause it not to operate.
