SPACE system must be replaced after being acti-
vated. Failure to do so may result in personal in-
jury or death.
Infants and children must not be placed in seats
equipped with the SPACE system. The SPACE
system is designed for adults only. Failure to fol-
low these instructions may result in personal in-
jury or death.
The operational readiness of the SPACE system is
indicated by the supplemental restraint system (SRS)
indicator on the dash. The SRS indicator comes on
when the engine is started and then goes off. The
indicator will remain on if there is a problem with the
air bag or SPACE system. The vehicle should be
serviced if the SRS indicator does not come on when
the engine is started or if the SRS indicator remains
on.
Safety Guidelines for the SPACE
System
The SPACE system contains components that use
combustible chemicals. Because these chemicals are
combustible, care must be taken when replacing or
handling system components.
WARNING
Do not attempt to service the air bag/SPACE sys-
tem. Damaged or deployed air bag/SPACE sys-
tems should be examined only by qualified per-
sonnel before any attempt is made to remove,
replace, or handle the air bag/SPACE system
components. All intentional deployments and
testing of the system should be performed by
trained personnel. Unintentional or improper de-
ployment of the air bag/SPACE system could
cause severe bodily injury or death.
Do not attempt to service or to disassemble the
SPACE module. The SPACE module cannot be
serviced. Doing so could result in severe bodily
injury or death.
Although the air bag/SPACE system components
will not likely explode, self-deploy, or produce
shrapnel, take care when it is necessary to re-
place or perform work around the air bag/SPACE
system components. Review and comply with the
following list of warnings. Failure to do so could
result in severe injury or death.
•
Do not cut, drill, braze, solder, weld, strike,
or probe any part of the air bag/SPACE sys-
tem.
•
Keep all liquids, acids, halogens, heavy
metals, and heavy salts away from the air
bag/SPACE system.
•
Do not expose the air bag/SPACE system
components to electricity.
•
Do not attempt to adapt, reuse, or install an
air bag/SPACE system in any vehicle other
than the specific vehicle for which it is de-
signed.
•
Keep hands and tools away from the scis-
sor points under the seats.
•
Do not cut wires or tamper with the connec-
tors between the vehicle wiring harness
