material glued to the headliner or to the garnish trims. If the material
is damaged, replace the headliner and/or the garnish trim. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury.
CAUTION: If a vehicle is equipped with a head curtain inflator module
ensure
that the inflator module and tether are undamaged. If tether or curtain
airbag are damaged in any way, they must be replaced.

Sharp tools may puncture the curtain airbag. If the head curtain
inflator module is damaged in any way, it must be replaced.

necessary to access the connectors to service the headliner. When
