Handl ing and s t orage
Always obs erve t he fol lowing precaut ions when handl ing SRS component s :
Never drop an SRS component . The ai rbag di agnos ti c cont rol unit i s a part icularly s hock sens it ive device and mus tbe handl ed wi th ext reme care. Ai rbag modules and s eat belt pre-tens ioners could deploy if s ubject ed t o a s t rongs hock.Never wrap your arms around an airbag modul e. If a modul e has to be carri ed, hol d it by t he cover wi th the coveruppermos t and the bas e away from your body.Never t rans port airbag modules or s eat bel t pre-t ensi oners in the pas s enger compart ment of a vehi cl e. Al wayst ransport airbag modul es or seat belt pret ensi oners in their original packaging i n the luggage compartment of t hevehi cl e.Never at tach anything to an airbag cover or any t ri m component coveri ng an airbag modul e. Do not allow anyt hingt o res t on t op of an airbag modul e.Always keep components cool, dry and free from cont aminati on.Never apply grease or cl eaning sol vent s to s eat belt pre-t ens i oner unit s , component fail ure could res ul t.Always s t ore an ai rbag module wit h t he depl oyment s ide uppermost . If i t is st ored deployment s ide down,acci dent al deployment wil l propel t he airbag module wit h s uffi cient force to caus e serious i njury.Keep new airbag modules i n thei r origi nal packaging unt il jus t prior to ins tal ling. Place t he old modul e in the empt ypackaging for carri age.
