Observe these precautions when working with air bag systems:
- Disable SRS before servicing any SRS or steering column component. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
- System retains voltage for about 20 MINUTES after battery is disconnected. Wait about 20 MINUTES after system is disabled before servicing, as air bag may accidentally deploy, causing personal injury.
- Because of critical operating requirements of system, DO NOT attempt to service air bag components. Corrections are made by replacement only.
- Always wear safety glasses when servicing or handling an air bag.
- Handle air bag components carefully. Avoid exposing components to impact, heat, moisture, etc.
- Air bag module must be installed immediately after it is taken out of storage. If work is interrupted, module must be returned to storage. Air bag modules must never be left out of storage unattended.
- Air bag module is a sealed unit. DO NOT attempt to dismantle or repair it.
- When placing live air bag module on bench or other surface, always face air bag and trim cover up, away from surface. This will reduce motion of module if accidentally deployed.
- After deployment, air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, which can irritate skin. Always wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-
- Wash hands using mild soap and water.
- Never allow any electrical source near inflator on back of air bag module.
- When carrying live air bag module, point trim cover away from your body to minimize injury in case of accidental deployment.
- Never apply grease to SRS connectors.
