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 precautions
could result in accidental airbag deployment.

WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, before
performing any welding operations disconnect and isolate the battery
negative (ground) cable and disconnect all wire harness connectors from
the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and other
possible damage to the supplemental restraint system circuits and
components.

WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury, do not attempt to dismantle an airbag unit
or tamper with its inflator. Do not puncture, incinerate, or bring into
contact with electricity. Do not store at temperatures exceeding 93°C
(200°F). An airbag inflator unit may contain sodium azide and potassium
nitrate. These materials are poisonous and extremely flammable. Contact
with acid, water, or heavy metals may produce harmful and irritating
gases (sodium hydroxide is formed in the presence of moisture) or
combustible compounds. An airbag inflator unit may also contain a gas
canister pressurized to over 17.24 kPa (2500 psi).

WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury when handling a seat belt tensioner
retractor, proper care should be exercised to keep fingers out from under
the retractor cover and away from the seat belt webbing where it exits
from the retractor cover.

WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury, replace all restraint system components
only with parts specified in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar® Parts Catalog.
Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal differences may
result in inferior occupant protection.

WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury, the fasteners, screws, and bolts originally
used for the restraint system components must never be replaced with
any substitutes. These fasteners have special coatings and are
specifically designed for the restraint system. Any time a new fastener is
needed, replace it with the correct fasteners provided in the service
package or specified in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar® Parts Catalog.

WARNING:

To avoid serious or fatal injury when a steering column has an airbag unit
attached, never place the column on the floor or any other surface with
the steering wheel or airbag unit face down.
