General Safety Guidelines

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Certain vehicles include a driver's and passenger side airbag, located in the steering wheel hub and dash panels, as part of a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Servicing, disassembling or replacing these items will require special caution and tools, and should therefore be done by a properly trained technician.

WARNING: To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which can lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal collision, all maintenance must be performed by a properly trained technician.
Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the airbag.
All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are covered with yellow outer insulation, and related components are located in the steering column, center console, dash, and front fenders. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.


PLAY IT SAFE
Block the wheels before beginning service with the vehicle on the ground.

NEVER work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Use jackstands, on a flat, level, hard surface, for safe support.

ALWAYS wear appropriate eye protection.

DON'T GET BURNED
Use caution when working near the catalytic converter. The temperatures within the converter can exceed 1200°F.
