• If any damage, opening or rust is found on the
airbag system wire harness, do not attempt to re-
pair using soldering equipment. Replace the faulty
harness with a new genuine part.

• Install the wire harness securely with the speci-

other parts.

• Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with
the connector terminals. Also do not touch the con-
nector terminals.

• Either of the airbag modules for driver’s side,
passenger’s, side and curtain or pretensioner must
not be disassembled.

• The airbag module cannot be used again if de-
ployed once.

• After removal, keep the airbag module with the
pad facing upward on a dry, clean and flat surface
away from heat, light sources, moisture and dust.

• Do not check continuity of the airbag modules for
driver’s side, passenger’s side and curtain, or pre-
tensioner.
