    CAUTION: Do not install the driver air bag module electrical connectors by the locking buttons. Damage to the locking buttons can occur.
    CAUTION: The driver air bag module electrical connector locking buttons must be in the released position when the connector is being installed or connector damage may occur.
    CAUTION: The driver air bag module electrical connectors are unique and cannot be reversed when connected to the driver air bag module. Match the electrical connector key to the keyway in the driver air bag module. Do not force the electrical connectors into the driver air bag module.
