SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Certain vehicles include driver's side and front passenger side airbags located in the steering wheel hub and dash as part of a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Servicing, disassembling or replacing these items will require special caution and tools and should therefore be done by a properly trained technician.

WARNING: Improper maintenance including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the airbag.

All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are covered with yellow outer insulation and related components are located in the steering column, center console, dash, and front fenders. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.
