3. The air bag modules should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of the air bag modules.
4. Do not expose the air bag module to temperature over 93° C (200° F).
5. After deployment of an air bag, replace the air bag modules. Check the clock springs and replace them with new ones if any problem is found.
6. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling an air bag that has deployed.
7. An undeployed air bag module should only be disposed of in accordance with the procedures. Service and Repair.

Pre-Removal Operation
- Set the steering wheel and the front wheels to the straight ahead position, and then remove the ignition key.




REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
Step 1 --- Negative (-) Battery Cable Disconnection
Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery and tape the terminal.

CAUTION: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work. Vehicle Damage Warnings.

Step 7 --- Air Bag Module (Front Passenger's Side) Removal
