• When placing a live air bag module on any surface, always face the trim cover upward to reduce the motion of the module if it is accidentally deployed.
• When handling a deployed air bag module, wear gloves and safety glasses, because the deployed air bag module may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a caustic by-product of the gas generant combustion.
• When an air bag module is to be disposed following the proper procedure recommended for the specific situation. (Refer to page T-160.)
Service Precaution (continued)
- 4CRASH SENSOR INSTALLATION • Crash sensor oreientation is very important for proper operation. If a vehicle is involved in a collision where its front sheet metal is damaged, inspect the body structure at the sensor mounting area for deformation. If damaged, restore it to its original shape. • When installing a crash sensor, be sure to tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque because the sensor is grounded through the crash sensor's mounting plate.
