21. Notify all people in the immediate area before you deploy the inflatable restraint steering wheel module.
^
An inflatable restraint steering wheel module deployment is very loud.
^
The deployment may startle any uninformed people in the area.
22. Separate the two banana plugs on the SIR Deployment Harness (Figure 20).

CAUTION: When you are deploying an inflator module for disposal, perform the deployment procedures in the order listed:
^
Wear safety glasses throughout the procedures.
^
Make sure the area around the inflator module is clear of all people and loose or flammable objects.
^
Short the deployment harness wires as instructed.
^
Connect the deployment harness to the inflator module before you connect it to the power source.
^
Connect the deployment harness to the power source to immediately deploy the air bag.
Failure to follow the procedures in the order listed may result in personal injury.
NOTICE: When the air bag deploys, the inflatable restraint steering wheel module may jump about 30 cm (1 foot) vertically. This is a normal reaction
of the inflatable restraint steering wheel module to the force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.
NOTICE: The rapid gas expansion involved with deploying an air bag is very loud. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the
inflatable restraint steering wheel module.
23. Connect the SIR Deployment Harness wires to the power source. This immediately deploys the inflatable restraint steering wheel module (Figure
21).
24. Use a vehicle battery when available, but always use a power source that complies to the following:
^
12 volts minimum.
^
2 amps minimum.
Figure 21
25. Disconnect the SIR Deployment Harness from the power source.
26. Short the SIR Deployment Harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other (Figure 15).
27. In the unlikely event that the inflatable restraint steering wheel module did not deploy after following these procedures, proceed immediately with
Steps 33 through 36. If the inflatable restraint steering wheel module did deploy, proceed with Steps 28 through 32.
28. Put on a pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from possible heat and irritation when handling the deployed inflatable restraint steering wheel
