PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

WARNINGHandling the air bag module improperly can accidentally deploy the air bag module, which may seriously injure you. Read the air bag system service warnings and cautions before handling the air bag module. (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS ) (See AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS ) If the passenger-side air bag module is installed with debris in the module, it may be scattered when the air bag module operates (deploys), causing injury. Verify that there is no debris in the passenger-side air bag module before installation. If a damaged passenger-side air bag module is installed, the vehicle may be damaged or the passenger may be injured when the air bag module operates (deploys). Verify that the passenger-side air bag has no damage before installation. Due to the adoption of 2-step deployment control in the passenger-side air bag module, depending on the impact force, it is possible that inflator No. 2 might not deploy. In such cases, before disposing of the air bag module, make sure to follow the inflator deployment procedures and verify complete deployment of inflators No. 1 and 2.
