Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions in the beginning
of this section.
Position the front wheels in the straight-ahead position and place the
key in the LOCK position. Remove the key from the ignition
lock cylinder.
Disconnect the negative battery cable and insulate the cable end with
high-quality electrical tape or similar non-conductive wrapping.
Wait at least one minute before working on the vehicle. The air bag system
is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short period
of time after the battery has been disconnected.

prevent accidental deployment of the air bag
