WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, when handling a seat belt tensioner retractor, proper care
should be exercised to keep fingers out from under the retractor cover and away from the seat belt webbing
where it exits from the retractor cover.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, replace all restraint system components only with parts spec-
ified in the daimlerchrysler mopar parts catalog. Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal
differences may result in inferior occupant protection.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, the fasteners, screws, and bolts originally used for the
restraint system components must never be replaced with any substitutes. These fasteners have special
coatings and are specifically designed for the restraint system. Any time a new fastener is needed, replace
it with the correct fasteners provided in the service package or specified in the daimlerchrysler mopar parts
catalog.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, when a steering column has an airbag unit attached, never
place the column on the floor or any other surface with the steering wheel or airbag unit face down.
