4. Exercise care when performing spark test always use non-conductive ignition wire pliers, Ignition systems present a shock hazard.

5. Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns. The temperatures within the converter can exceed 1200°F.

6. Exercise care when working with spring or tension loaded fasteners such as E-clips, or snap rings, careless removal can cause personal injury.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Certain vehicles include driver's side and front passenger side airbags located in the steering wheel hub and dash 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: 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.
