  2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER 

    This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

    CAUTION: Failure to carry out the service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing and lead to serious injury. Furthermore, if a mistake is made when servicing the SRS, it is possible that the SRS may fail to operate properly. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the following section carefully.
    1. GENERAL NOTICE
      1. As malfunctions of the SRS are difficult to confirm, the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) become the most important source of information when troubleshooting. When troubleshooting the SRS, always check for DTCs before disconnecting the battery.
      2. Work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off and after the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal.

        The SRS is equipped with a back-up power source. If work is started within 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, the SRS may deploy.

        When the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, the clock and audio system memory is erased. Before starting work, make a note of the settings of each memory system. When work is finished, reset the clock and audio system as before.

        CAUTION: Never use a back-up power source (battery or other) to avoid erasing the system memory. The back-up power source may inadvertently power the SRS and cause it to deploy.
      3. If the vehicle has been involved in a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering pad, front passenger airbag assembly, front seat side airbag assembly, curtain shield airbag assembly and front seat outer belt assembly should be inspected before further use of the vehicle.
      4. Never use the SRS parts from another vehicle. When replacing parts, use new parts.
      5. Before repairs, remove the airbag sensor assemblies if impacts are likely to be applied to the sensor during repairs.
      6. Never disassemble and attempt to repair any airbag sensor assemblies or airbag assemblies.
        1. Steering pad
        2. Front passenger airbag assembly
        3. Front seat side airbag assembly
        4. Curtain shield airbag assembly
        5. Front seat outer belt assembly
      7. Replace the airbag sensor assemblies and the airbag assemblies if: 1) damage has occurred from being dropped, or 2) cracks, dents or other defects in the case, bracket or connector are present.
      8. Do not directly expose the airbag sensor assemblies or airbag assemblies to hot air or flames.
      9. Use a voltmeter/ohmmeter with high impedance (minimum = 10 kΩ) for troubleshooting electrical circuits.
      10. Information labels are attached to the SRS components. Follow the instructions on the labels.
      11. After work on the SRS is completed, check the SRS warning light.
    2. SPIRAL CABLE
      1. The steering wheel must be fitted correctly to the steering column with the spiral cable at the neutral position, as otherwise cable disconnection and other problems may occur. Refer to the information about correct installation of the steering wheel (See INSTALLATION ).
    3. STEERING PAD

    CAUTION: If a large amount of unburned gasoline or gasoline vapors flow into the converter, it may cause converter overheating and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions.
    1. Use only unleaded gasoline.
    2. Avoid idling the engine for more than 20 minutes.
    3. Avoid performing unnecessary spark tests.

      1. Perform a spark test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
      2. While testing, never race the engine unless instructed.
    4. Avoid a prolonged engine compression measurement. Engine compression measurements must be performed as rapidly as possible.
    5. Do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
