Restraint System (SRS). For safe operation,
please follow the directions and heed all

test equipment.

(5) Store components removed from the SRS in a

clean and dry place. The air bag module
should be stored on a flat surface and placed
so that the pad surface is facing upward.

SRS components (SRS-ECU, air bag module
and clock spring). If there is a defect, replace
the defective part.

(7) Whenever you finish servicing the SRS, check

the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.

(8) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing

of the air bag module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP

allow any impact or shock to the SRS
components.

temperatures of over 93

°

C (200
