deployed in an accident.

WARNING

Modifications to or work improperly

conducted on restraint system components

or their wiring, as well as tampering with

interconnected electronic systems, can lead

to the restraint systems no longer functioning

as intended.
Air bags or Emergency Tensioning Devices

(ETDs), for example, could deploy

inadvertently or fail to deploy in accidents

although the deceleration threshold for air

bag deployment is exceeded. Therefore,

never modify the restraint systems. Do not

tamper with electronic components or their

software.
