2008 RESTRAINTS Air Bag System - Mazda CX-9
Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs
twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single
operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would
not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious
injury if the air bag module operates (deploy) unexpectedly. If
the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform
Step 8 again. If a total of two operation (explosive) sounds
cannot be verified even though Step 8 is performed again,
leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before
approaching it again.
The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated
(deployed). You can be burned. Do not touch the air bag
module for at least 15 min after deployment.
