Warning

  • When handling the airbag, the safety precautions must be observed.
  • The surface of the deployed airbag may contain a small amount of sodium hydroxide.
    This is a byproduct of the deployment reaction, and may cause irritation if it comes in contact with the skin or eyes.
  • Be sure to wear gloves and safety glasses when handling an airbag after deployment.
  • Wash hands with soap after handling.

Caution

  • After the airbag is deployed, inspect for burning or melting caused by excessive heat, or any other problems.
  • If the SRS coil is damaged, replace it.

2. Handling undeployed airbag assembly

Warning

  • When transporting an undeployed airbag, make sure that the trim cover is facing away from your body.
  • Never carry an airbag with pretensioner by holding the connector or harness.
  • When placing an undeployed airbag, make sure to face the trim cover upward.
  • Do not put any object on the steering wheel with the airbag surface facing downward.
  • Not following this procedure may result in fire or injuries.
