If the passenger-side air bag module is installed with debris in the
module, it may be scattered when the air bag module operates
(deploys), causing injury. Verify that there is no debris in the
passenger-side air bag module before installation.
If a damaged passenger-side air bag module is installed, the vehicle
may be damaged or the passenger may be injured when the air bag
module operates (deploys). Verify that the passenger-side air bag
has no damage before installation.

side air bag module, depending on the impact force, it is possible
that inflator No.2 might not deploy. In such cases, before disposing
of the air bag module, make sure to follow the inflator deployment
procedures and verify complete deployment of inflators No.1 and 2.
