Driver Air Bag Assembly
Service Precautions
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
FOLLOWED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY SURFACE MAY CONTAIN A
SMALL AMOUNT OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE, A BY–
PRODUCT OF THE DEPLOYMENT REACTION
THAT IS IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND EYES.
MOST OF THE POWDER ON THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY IS HARMLESS. AS A PRECAUTION,
WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN
HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY,
AND WASH YOUR HANDS WITH MILD SOAP AND
WATER AFTERWARDS.
WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG AND TRIM
COVER ARE POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER
CARRY THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES
OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE
MODULE. IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL
DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL THEN DEPLOY
WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. WHEN
PLACING ALIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY ON A
BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE
THE BAG AND TRIM COVER UP, AWAY FROM THE
SURFACE. NEVER REST A STEERING COLUMN
ASSEMBLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY FACE DOWN AND COLUMN
VERTICAL. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE
SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT
OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. OTHERWISE,
PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.
NOTE: In the event deployment has occurred, inspect
the coil assembly wire for any signs of scorching,
melting or any other damage due to excessive heat. If
the coil has been damaged, replace it.
