PARTS THAT MUST BE REPLACED FOLLOWING A DEPLOYMENT

With a Front Airbag Deployment:
• Inflatable restraint instrument panel module [Instrument Panel Airbag]
• Inflatable restraint steering wheel module [Steering Wheel Airbag]
• Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) [Airbag Control Module]
• Inflatable restraint PPS (passenger presence system)
• Inflatable restraint front end sensor [Front Airbag Sensor], left/right
• Seat belt pretensioners
• Any damaged restraint system part

CAUTION: Restraint systems can be damaged in a collision. To help avoid injury and ensure that all parts in need of replacement are replaced:

Replace any seat belt system that was in use during a collision serious enough to deploy any automatic restraint device such as air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This not only includes seat belt systems in use by people of adult size, but seat belt systems used to secure child restraints, infant carriers and booster seats, including LATCH system and top tether anchorages.

Replace any seat belt system that has torn, worn, or damaged components. This not only includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints and LATCH system components, if any.

Replace any seat belt system if you observe the words "REPLACE" or "CAUTION", or if a yellow tag is visible. Do not replace a seat belt system if only the child seat caution label is visible.

Replace any seat belt system if you are doubtful about its condition. This not only includes adult seat belt systems, but built-in child restraints, LATCH system components, and any restraint system used to secure infant carriers, child restraints and booster seats.

Do NOT replace single seat belt system components in vehicles that have been in a collision as described above. Always replace the entire seat belt system with
the buckle, guide and retractor assembly, which includes the latch and webbing material.

After a minor collision where no automatic restraint device was deployed, seat belt system replacement may not be necessary, unless some of the parts are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged.

With Side Airbag Deployment:
• Inflatable restraint side impact sensors (SIS) on the side of the impact [Side Airbag Sensor]
• Inflatable restraint side impact module on the side of impact
• Inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) [Airbag Control Module]
• Inflatable restraint PPS
• Inflatable restraint seat belt retractor pretensioner, left/right
• Any damaged restraint system part
