Section 64 (Steering Column): Steering: Precaution

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON STEERING SYSTEM 
    1. Care must be taken when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement could affect the performance of the steering system and results in a driving hazard.
  2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM 
    1. The 4Runner is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and front passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly be deployed during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the PRECAUTION notice for the supplemental restraint system article.
