STEERING COLUMN  STEERING SYSTEM  PRECAUTION  

Care must be taken when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement may affect the performance of the steering system and result in a driving hazard.

This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing. This may cause a serious accident. Before servicing (including inspection, replacement, removal, and installation of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notices for Supplemental Restraint System.
