Section 27 (General Information): Precaution: Caution: Airbag
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Subaru Tribeca. 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 information when performing maintenance on the airbag components or nearby, around front of the vehicle (radiator panel, front wheel apron, front side frame, bumper, 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 (second seat, rear floor pan) and the airbag wiring harnesses or nearby.
To prevent unexpected deployment, turn the ignition switch to OFF and disconnect the ground cable from battery, then wait at least 60 seconds before starting work.
