WARNING:
-
Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module.
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 trim cover 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 trim cover 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 trim covers must be replaced, not repainted.
-
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not use any memory saver devices.
CAUTION: Make sure the steering wheel spring clips retaining the driver air bag module are disengaged from each of the 4 locking pins on
the driver air bag module before removing the driver air bag module from the steering wheel. Failure to do so will damage the driver air bag
module and steering wheel.
