damaged during transit, storage, or service, it should be
deployed as follows:

by following the check procedure on this page or
on the tool label.
2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors, on flat
ground, at least 30 feet (10 meters) from any
obstacles or people.
3. Follow steps 9 through 11 of the in-vehicle
deployment procedure.

procedure for the driver's airbag (see page 23-' 13),

airbag (see page 23-'15), seat belt tensioner (see
page 23-4), and seat belt buckle tensioner.

stripping, and twisting together the two inflator

the new replacement part came in.
