Turbocharger Precautions

WARNING: On vehicles equipped with Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR), refer to CAUTIONS in Air Bags and Seat Belts under "ON-VEHICLE SERVICE" and the SIR Component and Wiring Location view in Air Bags and Seat Belts before performing service on or around SIR components or wiring. Failure to follow CAUTIONS could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR system repairs. Turbochargers operate at high speeds and temperature. Do not operate the engine and/or turbocharger without all normally installed inlet piping and filters, along with all exhaust piping. Failure to install the above components could result in personal injury and damage to the vehicle.
