HANDLING AND STORAGE
SDM
WARNING:
Never power up air bag system when SDM is not rigidly at-
tached to the vehicle. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deploy-
ment conditions, the SDM must not be used.
Refer to ªDiagnosisº when checking the SDM.
Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
When storing SDM, select a place where neither high tempera-
ture nor high humidity is anticipated and oil, water and dust are
kept off.
If SDM was dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more or if it
is found to be damaged or deformed, replace it with a new one.
If installation part of SDM was damaged, repair that part com-
pletely before reinstallation.
All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully
torqued and the arrow must be pointed toward the front of the ve-
hicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.

AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-59
WARNING:
When placing a live air bag (inflator) module on bench or
other surface, always face the bag up, away from the sur-
face. As the live passenger 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.
It is also prohibited to place anything on top of the trim cov-
er and stack air bag (inflator) modules.
This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow
the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental de-
ployment.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
LIVE (INACTIVATED) SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (inacti-
vated) seat belt pretensioners.
Also, when the seat belt pretensioners activate, gas is generated
and the seat belt is retracted into the retractor quickly.
Note, therefore, that if they activate accidentally, the seat belt pre-
tensioners and other object(s) around them may be thrown through
the air.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the seat belt pre-
tensioners. It is very dangerous as the electric current from
the tester may activate pretensioner.

REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
CAUTION:
All air bag system components, including the electrical harness (component mounting points), must
be inspected after an accident. If any components are damaged or bent, they must be replaced even
if air bag system activation did not occur.
Never use air bag system parts from another vehicle.
Do not attempt to service the parts below. Service of these parts is by replacement only.
± Driver/Passenger air bag (inflator) module
± Driver/Passenger seat belt pretensioner
± SDM
± Contact coil and combination switch assembly
± Air bag wire harness
Proper operation of the sensors and air bag system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure
return it to its original production configuration.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deployment conditions, the SDM must not be used.
Refer to ªDiagnosisº when checking the SDM.
ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT ± COMPONENT
REPLACEMENT
Certain air bag system components must be replaced. Those com-
ponents are:
Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
± Replace with new one.
Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
± Replace with new one as an assembly.
SDM after detecting such collision as to meet deployment condi-
tions
± Replace with new one.
