Airbag Handling and Storage

Airbag Assembly:

NOTE: Do not try to disassemble the airbag assembly. It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has deployed, it can not be repaired or reused.

Airbag Assembly Storage Position:

NOTE: Always store a removed airbag assembly with the pad surface up.

WARNING: If the airbag is positioned face down, accidental deployment could propel the unit with enough force to cause serious injury.

NOTE: Always store a removed airbag assembly on a secure flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding 212°F/100°C) and free of any oil, grease, detergent or water.


CAUTION:
- Improper handling or storage can internally damage the airbag assembly, making it in operative. If you suspect the airbag assembly has been damaged, install a new unit.
- Airbags for different model cars have different characteristics. Make sure you install the correct airbag for the car you are working on.
