PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM

a. HANDLING OF A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN A COLLISION
1. Refer to SRS airbag system inspection procedures.
2. When using an electric welder, first remove all airbags and seat belt pretensioners.
3. If impacts are likely to occur to the front airbag sensors, side airbag sensors, rear airbag sensors or seat position sensor, remove each sensor as necessary beforehand.
4. Do not allow the front airbag sensors, side airbag sensors, rear airbag sensors or seat position sensor to become heated to high temperatures.
5. Check the wire harnesses and connectors for damage and/or melting, as some areas of the airbags and seat belt pretensioners may heat up to several hundred degrees when they operate.
