SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
(1)
Always store a removed or new side airbag assem-
bly with the airbag deployment direction facing up.
Storing the airbag assembly with the airbag deploy-
ment direction facing down could cause a serious
accident if the airbag inflates.
(2)
Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
This may cause the airbag to deploy, which could
cause serious injury.
(3)
Grease or detergents of any kind should not be ap-
plied to the steering wheel pad.
(4)
Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient
temperature remains below 93
°
C (200
°
F), has low
humidity and is away from electrical noise.
(5)
Before using an electric welder, first disconnect the
airbag connector (the connector is yellow and has
2 pins) under the steering column near the com-
bination switch connector.

As a safety measure, always deploy airbags using
an SST before disposal (see page
airbags in safe place away from electrical noise.
