LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (unde-
ployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
The rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air
bag could cause the air bag (inflator) module, or an object in front
of the air bag (inflator) module, to be thrown through the air in the
unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
Never attempt disassembly of the air bag (inflator) modules.
If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with new one as
an assembly.
When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live (unde-
ployed) air bag (inflator) module, be sure to deploy it before dis-
carding it.
When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc., got on the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver and passenger), wipe it off immediately
with a dry cloth.
If air bag (inflator) module was dropped from a height of 90 cm
(3 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a new one as an assem-
bly.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver and passenger). It is very dan-
gerous as the electric current from the tester may deploy
the air bag.
ALWAYS CARRY AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE
WITH TRIM COVER (AIR BAG OPENING) AWAY
FROM BODY.
WARNING:
For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator)
module, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65
C (150 F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In case
of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy
with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the air bag
(inflator) module by the wires or connector on the un-
derside of the module.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
