Do not disassemble an airbag. It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it cannot be repaired or reused.

For temporary storage of an airbag during service, observe the following precautions.

- To prevent damage to the airbag, keep it away from any oil, grease, detergent, or water.




- Store the removed airbag on a secure, flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding 200° F/93° C).
- Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags, such as measuring resistance.




- Do not position yourself in front of the airbag during removal, inspection, or replacement.
- For proper disposal of a damaged airbag, refer to airbag disposal.




- The side curtain airbag inflator assembly is a long, jointed part containing an inflator (A), a flexible bag (B), and brackets (C).
