#### Precautions and Procedures (cont'd)

23-30

Backprobing Spring-loaded Lock Connectors When checking voltage or resistance on this type of connector the first time, you must remove the retainer to insert the tester probe from the wire side. NOTE: It is not necessary to reinstall the removed retainer; the terminals will stay locked in the connector housing.

To remove the retainer (A), insert a flat-tip screwdriver (B) between the connector body and the retainer, then carefully pry out the retainer. Take care not to break the connector.

Seats with Side Airbags

Seats with side airbags have a ''SIDE AIRBAG'' label on the seat-back. Because the component parts (seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you install only the correct replacement parts.

- When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
- Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
- After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the side airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is deformed, it must be replaced.
