GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-3
Servicing and handling
WARNING:
Many of service procedures require disconnection of
“AIR BAG” fuse and all air bag (inflator) module(s) from
initiator circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
Driver and Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
 For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator)
module, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
 When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In
case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the
air bag (inflator) module by the wires or connector on
the underside of the module. When placing a live air
bag (inflator) module on a bench or other surface,
always face the bag up, away from the surface. As the
live passenger air bag (inflator) module must be placed
with its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on the work-
bench with a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it
securely at its lower mounting bracket. This is neces-
sary so that a free space is provided to allow the air
bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental
deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
 Never dispose of live (undeployed) air bag (inflator)
modules (driver and passenger). If disposal is neces-
sary, be sure to deploy them according to deployment
procedures described in SECTION 10B before dis-
posal.
 The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it
off before proceeding the work.
 After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction. As with many service
procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be
worn.
[A] : ALWAYS CARRY AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE WITH TRIM COVER (AIR
BAG OPENING) AWAY FROM BODY.
[B] : ALWAYS PLACE AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE ON WORKBENCH WITH
TRIM COVER (AIR BAG OPENING) UP, AWAY FROM LOOSE OBJECTS.
1. Slit on workbench
2. Lower mounting bracket
3. Workbench vise

0A-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:
SDM
 During service procedures, be very careful when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
Never strike or jar the SDM.
Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and
mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointing toward the
front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly attached to the vehicle which could
cause deployment and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners
 For handling and storage of a live seat belt preten-
sioner, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
 Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connec-
tor of pretensioner. When placing a live seat belt pre-
tensioner on the workbench or some place like that, be
sure not to lay it with its exhaust hole (1) provided side
facing down. It is also prohibited to put something on
its face with an exhaust hole or to put a seat belt pre-
tensioner on top of another. Otherwise, personal injury
may result.
 Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretension-
ers (drive and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to activate them according to activation proce-
dures described in SECTION 10B before disposal.
 The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation
is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off
before proceeding the work.
 With many service procedures, gloves and safety
glasses should be worn to prevent any possible irrita-
tion of the skin or eyes.
