Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
SRS Airbag (Precaution): Precaution
The ECHO is equipped with the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag, front passenger airbag, seat belt pretensioner and side airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing and lead to a serious injury. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices carefully in the RS article (see SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM ).
