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

HINT:

When removing/installing or overhauling the passenger seat, check the passenger occupant classification system and perform zero point calibration (See INITIALIZATION ).
