To disarm airbag system, disconnect battery ground cable and the orange connector located on the lower side of the steering column. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes before performing any vehicle service. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is designed to retain enough battery voltage to deploy the airbag for a short time after the battery ground cable has been disconnected. Performing service before the minimum of 10 minutes has elapsed may cause airbag deployment and possible injury.
