supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when
handling an air bag module. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
- Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover
or deployment door pointed away from your body. This will
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental
deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in

device than 15 Metres (50 Feet). Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
- Do not place the driver or passenger air bag module with

instruction may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not handle the deployed air bag module immediately
after activation - it may be hot. Allow the air bag module to
cool. Cooling air bag modules should be continuously
monitored to make sure the heat does not create a fire with
