Observe the following precautions when servicing air bag system:
- Disable air bag system before attempting any repairs to steering column or components. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
- After disabling air bag system, DERM maintains back-up voltage. To avoid accidental deployment, wait at least 15 minutes after disabling air bag system before servicing.
- Always wear safety glasses when servicing system.
- Always carry a live (undeployed) air bag with trim cover facing away from your body. This minimizes chance of injury if air bag accidentally deploys.
- Place a live (undeployed) air bag on a bench or other surface with trim cover facing up, away from surface. This will reduce motion of air bag if it accidentally deploys.
