Steering Column: Service Precautions

PRECAUTION
1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING SYSTEM
a. Care must be taken when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement could affect the performance of the steering system and result in a driving hazard.
2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS
a. The vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) which includes a driver side airbag. Failure to carry out service procedures in the correct sequence may unexpectedly deploy the SRS and cause serious injuries. Furthermore, if a mistake is made in servicing the SRS, it may fail to operate when required.
Before servicing (including installation, removal, inspection or replacement of parts), refer to Restraint Systems Service Precautions.
