SIR Inflator Module Handling and Storage Caution

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.
