8O - 40 RESTRAINTS

REMOVAL

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on
vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supple-
mental restraint system before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt
tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel com-
ponent diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two
minutes for the system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This
is the only sure way to disable the supplemental
restraint system. Failure to take the proper precau-
tions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, never
strike or drop the side impact sensor, as it can
damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration.
The side impact sensor enables the system to
deploy the side curtain airbags. If an impact sensor
is accidentally dropped during service, the sensor
must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit.
Failure to observe this warning could result in acci-
dental, incomplete,
restraint deployment.
