The car models covered in this manual are equipped with an additional security system (SRS). Before doing any work near the airbag units, steering column, dashboard, front seats, turn off the SRS to avoid injury if it is accidentally triggered (see chapter Onboard electrical equipment). SRS circuit wiring is easily identified by the yellow color of the insulation.
