Air Bag: Service Precautions

WARNINGS

- The electrical circuit necessary for system deployment is powered directly from the battery. To avoid an accidental deployment and possible personal injury, the battery ground cable must be disconnected prior to servicing or replacing any system components.

- Always wear safety glasses when servicing an air bag vehicle and when handling an air bag module to avoid possible personal injury.

- Carry a live air bag with the bag and the trim pointed away from your body. An accidental deployment will then deploy with a minimal chance of injury.

- Place the air bag module on a bench with trim cover facing up to avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury.
