CAUTION: When carrying a live inflatable restraint steering wheel module, make sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. Never carry the inflatable restraint steering wheel module by the wires or electrical connector on the underside of it. In case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of Injury. When placing a live inflatable restraint steering wheel module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface. Never rest a steering column on the steering wheel with the inflatable restraint steering wheel module face down and steering column vertical.
