Live (Undeployed) Inflator Module Handling
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) inflator module. The rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the inflator module, or another object placed in front of the inflator module, to be thrown through the air in the event of a accidental deployment.

WARNING: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure the bag opening cover is pointed away from you. In case of accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with a minimal chance of injury. Never carry the inflator module by the wires or connectors on the underside of the module. When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. Never rest a steering column assembly on the steering wheel with the inflator module face down and the column vertical. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
