CAUTION

- Never attempt to disassemble or repair the airbag module.
- Do not drop the airbag module or allow contact with water, grease or oil. Replace it if a dent, crack, deformation or rust is detected.
- The airbag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is facing upward. Do not place anything on top of it.
- Do not expose the airbag module to temperature over 93 °C (200 °F).
- An undeployed airbag module should only be disposed in accordance with the procedures.
- Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the airbag module (squib) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit resistance is measured with a tester, accidental airbag deployment will result in serious personal injury.
