PRECAUTIONS
Handling and storage
WARNING: The SRS components are
sensitive and potentially hazardous if not
handled correctly; always comply with the
following handling precautions:
•
Never drop an SRS component. The airbag
diagnostic control unit is a particularly shock
sensitive device and must be handled with
extreme care. Airbag modules and seatbelt
pre-tensioner units could deploy if subjected
to a strong shock.
•
Never wrap your arms around an airbag
module. If it has to be carried, hold it by the
cover with the cover uppermost and the base
away from your body.
•
Never transport airbag modules or seatbelt
pre-tensioners in the cabin of a vehicle.
Always use the luggage compartment of the
vehicle for carrying airbag modules and
seatbelt pre-tensioner units.
•
Never attach anything to the airbag cover or
allow anything to rest on top of the airbag
module.
•
Always keep components cool, dry and free
from contamination.
WARNING: Always store airbag modules
with the cover face up. If the airbag
module is stored face down, accidental
deployment could propel the unit with enough
force to cause serious injury.
WARNING: Airbag modules and seatbelt
pre-tensioners are classed as explosive
devices. For overnight and longer term
storage, they must be stored in a secure steel
cabinet which has been approved as suitable for
the purpose and has been registered by the local
authority.
CAUTION: For the temporary storage of an
airbag or seatbelt pre-tensioner during
service, place in a designated storage
area. If there is no designated storage area
available, store in the luggage compartment of the
vehicle and inform the workshop supervisor.
CAUTION: Improper handling or storage
can internally damage the airbag module,
making it inoperative. If you suspect the
airbag module has been damaged, install a new
unit and refer to the Deployment/Disposal
Procedures for disposal of the damaged airbag.
