WARNING:
-
The air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioner immediately after deployment/activation is very hot. Wait for at least 30 minutes
to cool it off before proceeding the work.
-
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module and to activate seat belt pretensioner.
