Installation

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

• Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to => [ Restraint System Components, Safety Precautions and Testing Procedures ] Service Precautions.

• Before handling pyrotechnical components (for example, connecting electrical connector), the person handling them must "discharge static electricity". For example, by briefly touching the door striker pin.

• For proper crash sensor (pressure sensor) function, ensure door does not leak.

• All components (for example, cover, speaker, door trim) must be installed correctly.

• The door trim clips seal the system. Replace the clips, if necessary.
