Handling Precautions
LIVE (UNDEPLOYED) DRIVER AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE
Handling and Storage
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) module. The rapid gas generation produced during
deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag (inflator) module, or an object in front of the air bag (inflator) module, to be thrown through the
air in the unlikely event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING:
^
For handling and storing an air bag (inflator) module, select a place where the ambient temperature below 65° C (150° F), without
high humidity and away from electric noise.
^
When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In case of an accidental
deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the air bag (inflator) module by the wires or
connector on the underside of the module. When placing a live air bag (inflator) module on a bench or other surface, always face the
bag up, away from the surface. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of
accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
^
Never rest a steering column assembly on the steering wheel with the air bag (inflator) module face down and column vertical.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
^
Never attempt measuring the resistance of the air bag (inflator) module. The electric current from the tester may cause the air bag to
deploy, possibly resulting in personal injury.
