sioner(s) from vehicle, referring to SECTION 3C1, 10B and

WARNING:
• Always carry live air bag (inflator) module with trim
cover away from you.
• When storing a live air bag (inflator) module or when
leaving a live air bag (inflator) module unattended on a
bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim
cover up and away from the surface. As the live pas-
senger air bag (inflator) module must be placed with its
bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on the workbench
with a slit (1) or use the workbench vise (2) to hold it
securely at its lower mounting bracket (3).
This is necessary so that a free space is provided to
allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of
accidental deployment.
Failure to follow procedures may result in personal
injury.
