Safety precautions must be followed when handling a deployed inflator module
(air bag). After deployment, the inflator module (air bag) surface may contain a small
amount of sodium hydroxide, a by-product of the deployment reaction, that is irritating
to the skin and eyes. Most of the powder on the inflator module (air bag) is harmless.
as a precaution, wear gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed inflator
module (air bag), and wash your hands with mild soap and water afterwards.Caution
When you are carrying an undeployed inflator module: When you are storing an undeployed inflator module, make sure the bag
opening points away from the surface on which the inflator module rests.
When you are storing a steering column, do not rest the column with the bag
opening facing down and the column vertical. Provide free space for the
air bag to expand in case of an accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal
injury may result. Caution
Never rest a steering column assembly on the steering wheel with the inflator
module (air bag) face down and column vertical. This is necessary so that a free space
is provided to allow the inflator module (air bag) to expand in the unlikely event
of accidental deployment. Otherwise, personal injury could result.Caution
