WARNING:
Always carry live air bag (inflator) module with trim cov-
er away from you.
When storing a live air bag (inflator) module or when
leaving a live air bag (inflator) module unattended on a
bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim
cover up and away from the surface. As the live passen-
ger air bag (inflator) module must be placed with its bag
(trim cover) facing up, place it on the workbench with
a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it securely at its
lower mounting bracket.
This is necessary so that a free space is provided to al-
low the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of acci-
dental deployment.
Failure to follow procedures may result in personal inju-
ry.
5) Temporarily place driver or passenger air bag (inflator) module
on the workbench or the vise according to above WARNING.
