Continental V8-4.6L DOHC (1995)
Steering Wheel: Service Precautions
WARNING:
-
The backup power supply energy must be depleted before any air bag component service is performed. To deplete backup power supply
energy, disconnect the positive battery cable and wait one minute.
-
Always wear safety glasses when servicing an air bag vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
LIVE AIR BAGS
WARNING:
-
Carry a live air bag module with the bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. An accidental deployment will then deploy
with a minimal chance of injury.
-
Place a live air bag module on a bench or other surface with the trim cover up, away from the surface. This will reduce the motion
of the air bag module if it is accidentally deployed.
DEPLOYED AIR BAGS
WARNING:
-
Safety precautions must also be observed when handling a deployed air bag module.
-
Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed air bag module.
-
Wash your hands with mild soap and water after handling a deployed air bag module.
-
The air bag module surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating
to the skin.
