DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
7.Do not use electrical test equipment on the
airbag harness or connectors. Tampering with or
disconnecting the harness could result in
accidental firing of the airbag or make the
system inoperative, which may result in serious
injury.
8. An airbag system fault can only be
diagnosed using TestBook.
9.The airbag module contains Sodium Azide which
is poisonous and extremely flammable. Contact
with water, acid or heavy metals may produce
harmful or explosive compounds. Do not
dismantle, incinerate or bring into contact with
electricity.VEHICLE RECOVERY
Towing - airbag not deployed
Normal towing procedures are unlikely to cause an
airbag to deploy. However, as a precaution switch the
ignition off and then disconnect both battery leads.
Disconnect the negative '-' lead first.
Towing - airbag deployed
Once the driver's airbag has been deployed the
vehicle must have a front suspended tow. However,
as a precaution switch the ignition off and then
disconnect both battery leads. Disconnect the
negative '-' lead first.

REPAIR AIRBAG MANUAL DEPLOYMENT
CAUTION: Deployment in the vehicle will
damage the steering wheel; if the vehicle
is not being scrapped deploy the module
away from the vehicle in accordance with the
separate procedure.
If a vehicle is to be scrapped and contains an
undeployed airbag module, the module must be
manually deployed. This operation should only be
carried out using the following recommended manual
deployment procedure.
Before deployment is started the deployment tool self
test procedure should be carried out.
