WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on airbag, Safety Canopy or side air curtain assemblies. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these assemblies, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment path of the Safety Canopy or side air curtain assembly. Never insert any type of fastener or tie strap around any portion of the Safety Canopy, side air curtain assembly, or related interior trim panel. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the Safety Canopy or side airbag curtain deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Occupant Classification System (OCS) parts are calibrated as an assembly and must only be replaced in the configuration they are sold. Never separate parts of an assembly. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Never allow oil, grease, water or foreign contaminants to get on/in the occupant classification system (OCS) components or electrical connectors. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the OCS and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Always tighten the fasteners of the restraints control module (RCM) and impact sensor (if equipped) to the specified torque. Failure to do so may result in incorrect restraint system operation, which increases the risk of personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Always carry a live Safety Canopy or side air curtain assembly with the tear seam pointed away from your body. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Do not paint any airbag trim covers or deployment doors. Paint may cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Always carry the live hood actuator by holding it around the cylinder with the mounting bracket up and with the cap pointing away from the body. Always place the live hood actuator on its side with the cap pointing away from people. Never place anything in front of the cap. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a pedestrian impact, inspect the impact sensor mounting areas for damage. If damaged, a new bumper cover must be installed. New pedestrian impact sensors must be installed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death in a pedestrian impact.
WARNING: Do not repair or service pedestrian protection system component connector terminals. If pedestrian protection system connector terminals need repair, replace with the service connector pigtails. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the vehicle pedestrian protection system, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a pedestrian impact.
WARNING: Never tamper with, repair, or modify a pedestrian protection system component. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect operation of the pedestrian protection system, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a pedestrian impact.
