CAUTION: Immediately following the deployment of an air bag, the metal surfaces of the inflator module are very hot. Do not place the
deployed inflator module near any flammable objects. Wait for about ten minutes before touching any metal surface of the inflator module.
Disregarding these precautions may cause fire or personal injury.
The metal canister and the area surrounding the inflatable restraint steering wheel module are very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of the inflatable
restraint steering wheel module for about ten minutes after deployment. If you must move the deployed inflatable restraint steering wheel module, use
caution. Always wear gloves and handle the inflatable restraint steering wheel module by the air bag or the vinyl trim (Figure 23).
29. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the inflatable restraint steering wheel module as soon after the deployment as possible. This will prevent the
hot inflatable restraint steering wheel module canister from damaging the pigtail adapter, or the SIR deployment harness. The pigtail adapter and
the SIR deployment harness are reusable.
30. Inspect the pigtail adapter and the SIR deployment harness for damage after each use. Replace the pigtail adapter, or the SIR deployment harness,
as necessary.
31. Allow the deployed inflatable restraint steering wheel module to cool for at least 10 minutes. Dispose of the deployed inflatable restraint steering
wheel module through the normal refuse channels.
32. Wash your hands with a mild soap and water.
