Air Bag: Service and Repair
Airbag Module Deployment (In Vehicle)
Deploy the airbags before disposing of them. This includes those in a whole vehicle being scrapped.
If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, contact the Daewoo regional service manager for approval or special instructions before deploying the
airbag modules.
CAUTION: Before deploying the airbags, remove all loose objects from the airbag's expansion area.
CAUTION: Deploy the airbags with the vehicle doors closed and the side windows open.
CAUTION: Deploy the airbags only in an evacuated area. Service personnel who must be present during the deployment should be at least 10 meters
(33 feet) in front of the vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not connect the voltage source until after having completed all other preparations for the deployment of the airbags.
CAUTION: Allow a deployed airbag module to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.
CAUTION: Wear the gloves and the eye protectors during the disposal process.
CAUTION: If the deployment falls, disconnect the voltage source and wait 5 minutes before approaching the vehicle.
Deployment Procedure
1. Disconnect both battery cables and place the battery at least 10 meters (33 feet) from the vehicle.
CAUTION: Wait 1 minute after disconnecting both battery cables to allow the capacitor inside the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) to
discharge before taking any other action. The capacitor supplies the reserve power to deploy the airbags, even if the battery is disconnected.
Unintentional deployment of the airbags can cause injury.
2. Remove the lower cover from the steering column.
