Armrest Bracket

Armrest Bracket


Disable the airbag system before attempting any component diagnosis or service of the front seats, when equipped with front seat side air bags. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or fatal injury.
