WARNING! 
     
When driving or riding in an airbag-equipped 
vehicle, NEVER hold the scan tool or other 
test equipment in your hands or lap while in 
motion. Objects between you and the airbag 
increase the risk of injury in an accident. 
     During a test drive in an airbag-equipped 
vehicle, test equipment must always be 
fastened to and operated from the rear seat 
by a second technician.
