WARNING: The SRS components are sensitive
and potentially hazardous if not handled
correctly; always comply with the following
handling precautions:

Never drop an SRS component. The airbag
diagnostic control unit is a particularly
shock sensitive device and must be handled
with extreme care. Airbag modules and seat
belt pre-tensioner units could deploy if
subjected to a strong shock.

module. If an airbag module has to be
carried, hold it by the cover, with the cover
uppermost and the base away from your
body.

pre-tensioners in the cabin of a vehicle.
Always use the luggage compartment of the
vehicle for carrying airbag modules and seat
belt pre-tensioner units.
WARNING: Never attach anything to an airbag
cover or any trim component covering an airbag
module. Do not allow anything to rest on top of
an airbag module.
WARNING: Always keep components cool, dry
and free from contamination.
