WARNINGS:
Batteries normally produce explosive
gases which may cause personal injury,
therefore do not allow flames, sparks or
lighted substances to come near the
battery. When charging or working near
the battery always shield your face and
protect your eyes. Always provide
adequate ventilation. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal
injury.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS)
is active for a certain length of time after
the power supply has been disconnected.
Wait for a minimum of 3 minutes before
disconnecting or removing any SRS
components.
Audio unit key code saving devices must
not be used when working on
supplemental restraint or fuel systems.
When using these devices the vehicle
electrical system is still live but with a
reduced current flow. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Make sure the engine is not
running before disconnecting the battery
ground cable to avoid damage to the
vehicle electrical system.
NOTE: Disconnecting the battery will erase fault
codes, drive values and customer data stored in
the modules.
NOTE: This procedure should be used to
disconnect the battery while carrying out repairs
that refer to the battery being disconnected.
1. Refer to: Battery and Battery Charging Health
and Safety Precautions (100-00 General
