WARNING:
When placing a live air bag (inflator) module on bench or
other surface, always face the bag up, away from the sur-
face. As the live passenger air bag (inflator) module must
be placed with its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on
the workbench with a slit or use the workbench vise to
hold it securely at its lower mounting bracket.
It is also prohibited to place anything on top of the trim
cover and stack air bag (inflator) modules.
This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow
the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental
deployment.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
ALWAYS PLACE AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE
ON WORKBENCH WITH TRIM COVER (AIR BAG
OPENING) UP, AWAY FROM LOOSE OBJECTS.
1. Slit on workbench
2. Workbench vise
3. Lower mounting bracket
DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES
WARNING:
The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least 30 minutes to cool it
off before proceeding the work.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (infla-
tor) module.
After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and byprod-
ucts of the chemical reaction. As with many service
procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be
worn.
Wash your hands with mild soap and water after com-
pleting the work.
Refer to the procedure described under DEPLOYED AIR BAG (IN-
FLATOR) MODULE DISPOSAL in this section.
