WARNING: Always carry or place a live air bag module with the air bag and deployment door/trim cover/tear seam pointed away from the
body. Do not set a live air bag module down with the deployment door/trim cover/tear seam face down. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious personal injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: If the seat side air bag cover has been damaged or separated from its mounting, or if the air bag material has been exposed, install
a new seat side air bag module. Never try to repair the seat side air bag module. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side
air bag deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
WARNING: Front seat backrest trim covers installed on seats equipped with seat side air bags cannot be repaired. A new trim cover must be
installed. Cleaning is permissible. Failure to follow these instructions may result in the seat side air bag module deploying incorrectly and
increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTE: If a side air bag deployment took place, a new side air bag module and bolt must be installed. A new side air bag module bracket on the backrest
frame should be inspected and installed if necessary.
