CAUTION: When you are carrying an undeployed inflator module:
^
Do not carry the inflator module by the wires or connector on the inflator module.

Make sure the bag opening points away from you.
When you are storing an undeployed inflator module, make sure the bag opening points away from the surface on which the inflator module
rests. When you are storing a steering column, do not rest the column with the bag opening facing down and the column vertical. Provide free
space for the air bag to expand in case of an accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.

surface (Figure 15).
12. Place the inflatable restraint steering wheel module away from all loose or flammable objects.
13. Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 m (6 ft) in diameter where you intend to deploy the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. If possible,
use a paved, outdoor location free of activity. Otherwise, use a space free of activity on the shop floor. Make sure you have sufficient ventilation
(Figure 16).
14. Make sure no loose or flammable objects are within the deployment area (Figure 16).
15. Place the inflatable restraint steering wheel module in the space just cleared, with its vinyl trim cover facing up (Figure 16).
