WARNING: Adhere to SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS so as to avoid a risk of injury by the actuator.
The BATTERY NEGATIVE LEAD must be clamped off prior to work on the actuator or engine compartment lid.
Do not exert any force on the actuator.
Incorrect handling may result in triggering of the actuator and thereby cause serious injury.
IMPORTANT: After the actuator has been installed, retaining screws (1) must be removed.
The retaining screws are required as aids to fitting the actuator.
If the retaining screws are not removed after the actuator has been installed, active pedestrian protection will not function.
