With Air Bag

Prior to removing of the multifunction switch assembly in vehicles equipped with air bags, be careful to keep the following items.

CAUTION:
  • Never attempt to disassemble or repair the air bag module or clock spring. If faulty, replace it.
  • Do not drop the air bag module or clock spring or allow contact with water, grease or oil. Replace if a dent, crack, deformation or rust are detected.
  • The air bag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad surface is facing upward. Do not place anything on top of it.
  • Do not expose the air bag module to temperatures over 93°C (200°F).
  • After deployment of an air bag, replace the clock spring with a new one.
  • Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling an air bag that has already been deployed.
  • An undeployed air bag module should only be disposed of in accordance with the procedures mentioned in the Restraints section.
  • When you disconnect the air bag module-clock spring connector, take care not to apply excessive force to it.
  • The removed air bag module should be stored in a clean, dry place.
  • Prior to installing the clock spring, align the mating mark and "NEUTRAL" position indicator of the clock spring, and, after turning the front wheels to the straight-ahead position, install the clock spring to the column switch. If the mating mark of the clock spring is not properly aligned, the steering wheel may not completely rotate during a turn, or the flat cable within the clock spring may be severed, obstructing normal operation of the SRS and possibly leading to serious injury to the vehicle's driver.
