Live (Undeployed) Inflator Module

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

CAUTION: When you are carrying an undeployed inflator module:
- Do not carry the Inflator module by the wires or connector on the inflator module.
- Make sure the bag opening points away from you.

When you are storing an undeployed inflator module, make sure the bag opening points away from the surface on which the inflator rests. When you are storing a steering column, do not rest the column with the bag opening facing down and the column vertical. Provide free space for the air bag to expand in case of an accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
