A019BMVE27

Tech Tips


  • Before adjusting the door position for vehicles equipped with side airbags and curtain shield airbags, be sure to disconnect the battery. After adjustment, inspect the SRS warning light, side airbag system and curtain shield airbag system for normal operation.

  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

  • Centering bolts are used to mount the door hinge to the vehicle body and door. The door cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute the centering bolts with standard bolts when making adjustments.

  • A bolt without a torque specification is shown in the standard bolt chart Click here.

As a result, after turning the ignition switch off, wait a minute or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      • When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
