Air Bag: Service Precautions
Airbag/Seat Belt Tensioner Handling and Storage
Airbag System Precautions Before Working on Airbag System
Do not try to disassemble an airbag or a seat belt tensioner. They have no serviceable pants. Once an airbag or a seat belt tensioner have been deployed,
they cannot be repaired or reused.
For temporary storage of an airbag or a seat belt tensioner during service, please observe the following precautions:
Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up. The driver's/front passenger's airbag connectors and seat belt tensioner connectors have a built-in short
contact.
WARNING: If the airbag is improperly stored face down, accidental deployment could propel the unit with enough force to cause serious
injury.
Store the removed on a secure flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding 212 °F / 100 °C ) and free of any oil, grease, detergent or water.
Improper handling or storage can internally damage the airbag and seat belt tensioner, making them inoperative.
If you suspect the airbag and seat belt tensioner have been damaged, install new units and refer to the Deployment/Disposal Procedures for disposing of
the damaged units.
