Some of the latest models are equipped with an airbag, or a Safety Assist System (SRS). To avoid possible damage to this system, the manufacturer recommends that for models with airbags, the procedure described below be left to the competence of the dealer service department or body shop, because. it requires the use of special equipment and technologies. There is also a risk of injury if the airbag mechanism is accidentally deployed.
