Disabling & Activating Air Bag System

WARNING: All models are equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Use caution when working around steering column. Ensure battery is disconnected before attempting any repair. DO NOT apply electrical power to any component on steering column without disabling air bag system (air bag could deploy). See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .

WARNING: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting negative battery cable before servicing SRS. System reserve capacitor maintains SRS voltage for about 60 seconds after battery is disconnected. Servicing SRS before 60-second period may cause accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.

To disable system, turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect and isolate negative battery cable end. Wait at least 60 seconds. To activate system, reconnect negative battery cable.
