Inflator Module Handling, Shipping, and Scrapping
LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) INFLATOR MODULE
CAUTION: Refer to Inflator Module Handling And Storage Caution in Service Precautions.
Be careful when you handle or store a live (undeployed) inflator module. An air bag deployment produces rapid gas generation. This may cause the
inflator module or an object in front of the inflator module to jettison through the air in the event of an unlikely deployment.
