Warning: The vehicles described in this manual are equipped with a passive restraint system (SRS), also known as an air spring system. Before carrying out work in the area where the elements of this system are located, you should turn off its power, since accidental deployment of the airbags can result in serious injury (see subsection 28).

Caution: Before removing the SRS switch, you must turn off the power to the SRS system (see subsection 28).
8. To test the functionality of a simple open/close switch, you must use an ohmmeter or a circuit tester with a self-contained power source. Check for an open circuit between the contact terminals of the switch. The circuit should only be closed when the switch is moved to the on position. If the switch does not pass the test described, replace it.
