Air Bag: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
- When removing the air-bag module or handling a new airbag module, it should be placed with the pad top surface facing up. In this case, the twin-lock type connector lock lever should be in the lock state and care should be taken to place it so the connector will not be damaged. Do not store a steering wheel pad on top of another one. (Storing the pad with its metallic surface up may lead to a serious accident if the airbag should inflate for some reason.)
- Never measure the resistance of the airbag squib. (This may cause the airbag to deploy, which is very dangerous.)
- Store the air-bag module where the ambient temperature remains below 93° C (290° F), without high humidity and away from electrical noise.
- When using electric welding, disconnect the airbag connectors under the steering column near the MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH connector before starting work.
