WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag

supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag
module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Carry a live side air curtain module with the air bag and trim

cover pointed down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal
injury.

WARNING: Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover

face down. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of

sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to
the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so

may result in air bag deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.

WARNING: Air bags modules with damaged trim covers must be

replaced. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Vehicle sensor orientation is critical for correct system

operation. If a vehicle equipped with an air bag SRS is involved in a collision,
inspect the sensor mounting bracket and wiring pigtail for deformation. If
damaged, replace the sensor whether or not the air bag is deployed. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury,

the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any air
bag SRS components. To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the

battery ground cable and wait one minute. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.

WARNING: Only carry out a system test with the air bag modules fully

installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
