This may startle any uninformed people in the area.
Caution: When you are deploying an inflator module for disposal, perform the deployment procedures in the order listed:
^
Wear safety glasses throughout the procedures.
^
Clear a space on the ground about 1.85 meters (six feet) in diameter where the inflator module will be deployed.
^
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.
Important: The rapid gas expansion involved with deploying an air bag is very load. Notify all the people in the immediate area that you intend to
deploy the inflator module.
Important: When the air bag deploys, the inflator module may jump about 30 cm (1 ft.) vertically. This is a normal reaction of the inflator module to the
force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag.
