the air bag assembly connector. Failure to fully seat the
connectors may leave the shorting bar located in the air
bag assembly connector functioning (shorting the
deployment circuit) and may result in non deployment of
the air bag assembly.

9. Notify all people in the immediate area of your
intention to deploy the passenger air bag assembly.
The deployment will be accompanied by a substantial
noise which may startle the uninformed.
WARNING: DEPLOYED HARNESS SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A POWER
SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED.
THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY
DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A CONNECTING THE
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE POWER SOURCE
SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE LAST STEP IN THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE
ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE METAL
SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL BE
VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY TO
COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION
OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED INFLATOR
MODULE NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT
IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY. AFTER AN AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN DEPLOYED, THE METAL
CANISTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY WILL BE HOT. DO NOT TOUCH THE
METAL AREAS OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FOR
ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES AFTER DEPLOYMENT. IF
THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE
MOVED BEFORE IT IS COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND
HANDLE BY THE AIR BAG IT SELF.
11. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the air bag
assembly as soon after deployment as possible to
avoid damage to the pigtail adapter or SRS
deployment harness from contacting the hot air bag
assembly canister. The pigtail adapter and SRS
deployment harness are designed to be reused. They
should, however, be inspected for damage after each
deployment and replaced if necessary.
12. Dispose of the deployed air bag assembly through
normal refuse channels after it has cooled for at least
30 minutes.
