Areas of Importance
1. Take off the battery's negative (-) terminal, and wait for 60 s before operating. Wrap the removed
negative (-) terminal in tape to insulate it.

a flat surface and do not place anything on top of it.
5. Do not put the airbag module in a place where the temperature is over 93\
oC.
6. After the airbag module is deployed, replace it with a new one. At the same time, inspect the clock
spring (contact resistance between corresponding terminals should not be more than 0.8 Ω). If there
is anything abnormal, replace it with a new one.

8. While scraping an undeployed airbag, make sure to discard it after it ha\
s been deployed first.
9. During removal, to avoid experiencing static electricity interference leading to faulty execution, make
