WARNING:
SDM
• For handling and storage of a SDM, select a place where the ambient temperature below 65°C
(150°F), without high humidity and away from electric noise.
• During service procedures, be very careful when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
Never strike or jar the SDM.
• Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and
mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointing toward the
front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly attached to the vehicle which could
cause deployment and result in personal injury.
• Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect sys-
tem parts and other related parts according to instructions under "REPAIR AND INSPECTION
REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT" in SECTION 10B.
• When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks may be applied to air bag system compo-
nent parts, remove those parts beforehand.
• When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), seat belt pretensioners (driver
and passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to it. If an excessive impact was
applied, never attempt disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver and pas-
senger) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners
(If equipped)
• For handling and storage of a live seat belt preten-
sioner, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
• Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connec-
tor of pretensioner. When placing a live seat belt pre-
tensioner on the workbench or some place like that, be
sure not to lay it with its exhaust hole (1) provided side
facing down. It is also prohibited to put something on
its face with an exhaust hole or to put a seat belt pre-
tensioner on top of another. Otherwise, personal injury
may result.
• Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretension-
ers (drive and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to activate them according to activation proce-
dures described in SECTION 10B before disposal.
• The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation
is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off
before proceeding the work.
• With many service procedures, gloves and safety
glasses should be worn to prevent any possible irrita-
tion of the skin or eyes.
