BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
HINT:
Take care to observe the following precautions when performing inspections or removal and replacement
of body electrical related parts.
1. HEADLIGHT SYSTEM
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and require special handling. They can burst if scratched or
dropped. Hold a bulb only by its plastic or metal case. Don't touch the glass part of a bulb with bare hands.
2. SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM)
The AVALON is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and front
passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including re-
moval or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary notices in the
RS section.
3. AUDIO SYSTEM

If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the preset AM, FM 1 and FM 2 sta-
tions stored in memory are erased, so make sure to note the stations and reset them after the negative
(-) terminal cable is reconnected to the battery.

If the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, the radio, tape player and CD player
will not operate as well as audio anti - theft system. Be sure to input the correct ID number so that the
radio, tape player and CD player can be operated again.
4. MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system, refer to precautions in the IN section.
