CAUTION:
- When carrying an undeployed inflator module:
- Do not carry the inflator module by the wires or connector.
- Make sure the air bag opening points away from you.
- When storing an undeployed inflator module:
- Make sure the air bag opening points away from the surface on which the inflator module rests.
- Provide free space for the air bag to expand in case of an accidental deployment.
- When storing a steering column, do not rest the column with the air bag opening facing down and the column vertical. Lay the column on its side.
- Failure to observe these guidelines may result in personal injury.
