REMOVAL



Mounting hole (1) uses a screw. Depending on model line, mounting holes (2) may use either two screws, or one screw and a locating pin.

WARNING:

  • Do not place a non-deployed airbag face down on a hard surface as the airbag will propel into the air if accidentally deployed, and could result in serious or fatal injury.
