9A-30 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
23. Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area
surrounding the vehicle are clear of all people and
loose or flammable objects.
24. Stretch the driver and passenger deployment harnesses to their full length.
25. Completely cover the windshield area and front door window openings with a drop cloth, blanket o
r
similar item. This reduces the possibility of injury
due to possible fragmentation of the vehicle's
glass or interior.
26. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air bags. The deployment will
be accompanied by a substantial noise which ma
y
startle the uninformed.
27. Separate the two ends of the driver deployment harness wires.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN
A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE
POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
FINAL STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: W hen the air bag deploys, the rapid gas
expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deplo
y
the air bags.
28. Connect the driver deployment harness wires to a power source to immediately deploy the driver ai
r
bag assembly. Recommended application: 12
volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle
battery is suggested.
29. Separate the two ends of the passenge
r
deployment harness wires.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN
SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO
A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE
DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN
A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE
POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE
FINAL STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
30. Connect the passenger deployment harness wires
to a power source to immediately deploy the
passenger air bag assembly. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum.
A vehicle battery is suggested.(Driver air bag
assembly) Put on a pair of shop gloves and safet
y
glasses to protect your hands and eyes from
possible irritation and heat when handling the
deployed air bag assembly. After an air bag
assembly has been deployed, the surface of the
air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to
lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products o
f
the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust
(similar to lye soap) is produced as a by-product o
f
the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide
then quickly reacts with atmospheric moisture and
is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikel
y
that sodium hydroxide will be present afte
r
deployment (Passenger air bag assembly) The
passenger inflator requires no special precaution
after deployment. 95% of the particulate mission is
potassium chloride (KLC), which is commonly sold
as an edible salt-substitute. Even if water is
applied, post deployment products are relativel
y
pH neutral. Disposing of the inflator by burying it in
a landfill will not produce any hazardous products.
As with any dusty environment, safety goggles,
dust mask and gloves should be worn.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE
METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING ANY
METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE HOT
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY
FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
After an air bag assembly has been deployed, the
metal canister and surrounding areas of the ai
r
bag assembly will be very hot. Do not touch the
metal areas of the air bag assembly for about 30
minutes after deployment. If the deployed air bag
assembly must be moved before it is cool, wea
r
gloves and handle by the air bag or trim cover.
31. Short the driver deployment harness wires b
y
twisting together one end from each. Repeat this
procedure for the passenger deployment harness.
32. Carefully remove the drop cloth from the vehicle and clean off any fragments or discard the drop
cloth entirely.
33. Disconnect the driver deployment harness and the passenger deployment harness from the vehicle
and discard.
