Section 168 (General Information): Precaution: Caution: Airbag
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To prevent bodily injury from unexpected deployment of airbags and unnecessary maintenance, follow the instructions in this article when performing maintenance on or near the airbag components, around front of the vehicle (radiator panel, front wheel apron, front side frame, front bumper, front hood, front fender), around side of the vehicle (front door, rear door, center pillar, rear fender, side sill, rear wheel apron), around rear of the vehicle (rear seat cushion, rear floor, rear crossmember), and on or near the airbag wiring harnesses.
To prevent unexpected deployment, turn the ignition switch to OFF and disconnect the ground cable from battery, then wait at least 20 seconds before starting work.
