something does get in your eyes, thoroughly
wash them out with clean water.
!Do not tamper with the wiring of the SRS air-

attempt to take its connectors apart, as that
may activate the system or it can render it inop-erative. The wiring and connectors of these
systems are yellow for easy identification. NEV-
ER use a circuit tester for these wiring.
