must be inspected after an accident. If any components are damaged or bent, they must be replaced
even if air bag system activation did not occur.
• Never use air bag system parts from another vehicle.

– Driver/Passenger air bag (inflator) modules, Driver/Passenger seat belt pretensioners
– Forward sensors
– SDM
– Contact coil and combination switch assembly
