Live (Undeployed) Inflator Module

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) inflatable restraint steering wheel module. The rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the inflatable restraint steering wheel module, or another object placed in front of it, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an accidental deployment.

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. Otherwise, personal injury may result
