This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an accidental deployment.
-
Do not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door face down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental
deployment.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the
skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
-
Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so can result in air bag deployment, which can result in personal injury.
-
Air bag modules with discolored or damaged deployment doors must be replaced, not repainted.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
NOTE:
-
The air bag warning lamp illuminates when the restraint control module (RCM) fuse is removed and the ignition switch is ON. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault.
-
The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.
-
Repair is made by installing a new part only. If the new part does not correct the condition, install the original part and carry out the diagnostic
procedure again.
