DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Impacts which do not deploy airbags
CAUTION: Check for structural damage in
the area of the impact, paying particular
attention to bumper armatures,
longitudinals, crash cans and bracketry.
1. Carefully inspect any airbag part before
installing. Do not install any part that shows
signs of being dropped or improperly handled,
such as dents, cracks or deformation.
2. Always remove the key from the starter switch
before beginning work.
3. Always disconnect both the negative ’-’ cable
and positive ’+’ cable at the battery before
removal of driver or passenger airbag modules.
Disconnect the negative cable first.
CAUTION: The airbag system has
sufficient stored energy to deploy airbags
for up to 20 minutes.
4. To continue work immediately, disconnect the
driver’s airbag and passenger’s airbag (where
fitted).
5. Do not try to dismantle the airbag module. There
are NO separately serviceable parts. Once an
airbag has been deployed, it cannot be repaired
or reused.
6. Do not install used airbag parts from another
vehicle. When repairing, use only new airbag
parts.
