DISCUSSION:
Current DaimlerChrysler vehicles may contain any or all of the following safety systems: driver airbags, passenger airbags, side curtain airbags, side seat airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, anti-lock brakes, electronic throttle control, or traction control. All these systems contain multiple sophisticated sensitive electrical and mechanical components. The location and function of all safety system components must be determined before performing repairs; including accident, mechanical or electrical, or vehicle modifications such as adding an after-market sunroof.
WARNING:
ANY INADVERTENT SAFETY SYSTEM COMPONENT OR ASSOCIATED WIRING DAMAGE/MODIFICATION OR COMPONENT LOCATION CHANGE MAY DISABLE ANY OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS.
Refer to the appropriate vehicle Service Manual to determine location and function of all safety Systems before servicing vehicle. All systems should be checked for functionality after the vehicle modifications/repairs are complete.
