8B – 74 SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINTS (SIR)
AIRBAG MODULE DEPLOYMENT
(IN VEHICLE)
(Left–Hand Drive Shown, Right–Hand
Drive Similar)
Deploy the airbags before disposing of them. This in-
cludes those in a whole vehicle being scrapped.
If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, contact
the Daewoo regional service manager for approval or
special instructions before deploying the airbag mod-
ules.
Caution: Before deploying the airbags, remove all
loose objects from the airbags expansion area.
Caution: Deploy the airbags with the vehicle doors
closed and the side windows open.
Caution: Deploy the airbags only in an evacuated
area. Service personnel who must be present dur-
ing the deployment should be at least 10 meters
(33 feet) in front of the vehicle.
Caution: Do not connect the voltage source until af-
ter having completed all other preparations for the
deployment of the airbags.
Caution: Allow a deployed airbag module to cool
for at least 30 minutes before handling.
Caution: Wear the gloves and the eye protectors
during the disposal process.
Caution: If the deployment fails, disconnect the volt-
age source and wait 5 minutes before approaching
the vehicle.
Deployment Procedure
1. Disconnect both battery cables and place the battery
at least 10 meters (32.8 feet) from the vehicle.
Caution: Wait 1 minute after disconnecting both
battery cables to allow the capacitor inside the
sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) to discharge
before taking any other action. The capacitor sup-
plies the reserve power to deploy the airbags, even
if the battery is disconnected. Unintentional deploy-
ment of the airbags can cause injury.
2. Remove the lower cover from the steering column.
3. At the lower steering column, cut the two wires lead-
ing from the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR)
harness to the clock spring.
4. Strip 13 mm (0.5 inch) of insulation from the ends of
the wires leading to the clock spring.
5. Use two additional wires, each at least 10 meters
(33 feet) long, to reach from the deployment battery
to the airbag module.
6. Strip 13 mm (0.5 inch) of insulation from the ends of
these two additional wires.
7. Twist the two wires together at one end.
