General Warnings for Extraction Procedures
WARNING:
ALWAYS ASSUME THE VEHICLE’S HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM IS POWERED UP! Cutting, crushing, or touching High Voltage
components can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING:
Always use appropriate tools, such as a hydraulic cutter, and always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when
cutting. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.
Pyrotechnic Device Health and Safety Precautions
WARNING:
Pyrotechnic components are very hot immediately after deployment and might be covered with pyrotechnic residuals. Do not
handle pyrotechnic components immediately after deployment. Always wear protective gloves, safety glasses and breathing
protection to prevent skin contact and inhaling of pyrotechnic residuals. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
personnel injury.
WARNING:
Always carry a live airbag with the deployment door, trim cover or tear seam pointed away from the body. Do not place a live airbag
down with the deployment door, trim cover or tear seam facing down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING:
Always carry a live Safety Canopy or side air curtain assembly with the tear seam pointed away from your body. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in serious personal injury or death in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING:
Never disassemble or tamper with seat belt deployable components, including pretensioners, load limiters and inflators. Never back
probe deployable device electrical connectors. Tampering or back probing may cause an accidental deployment and result in
personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Never probe the electrical connectors on airbag, Safety Canopy or side air curtain assemblies. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in the accidental deployment of these assemblies, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is
connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety
Canopy and cause serious personal injury or death.
WARNING:
Service and handling of Pyrotechnic Components is restricted to qualified personnel. The required qualifications vary by region.
Always observe local laws and legislative directives regarding Pyrotechnic Components service and handling. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury or death.
