Disassembly/Reassembly

A WARNING Store a removed airbag assembly with the pad surface up. If the airbag is improperly stored face down, accidental deployment could propel the unit with enough force to cause serious injury.

NOTE: If an intact airbag assembly has been removed from a scrapped car or has been found defective or damaged during transit, storage or service, it should be deployed (see Section 23).
CAUTION:
•   Carefully inspect the airbag assembly before installing. Do not install an airbag assembly that shows signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
•   Always keep the short connector on the airbag connector when the harness is disconnected.
•   Do not disassemble or tamper with the airbag assembly.
