SRS Air Baa Module Procedures
Strong
bag module
At alocation as far away from the air bag as
possible, and from a shielded position, if possible , discon-
nect the two connected wires from each other and co nnect
them to the two terminals of- the battery (removed from
the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.
Caution
1. Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that no one is nearby.
2.The inflator will be quite hot immediately followin g’
deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow
it to cool before attempting. to handle it.
Although not poisonous, do not inhale gas from
air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module
Disposal Procedures for post-deploy-
ment handling instructions.
3. If the air bag module fails to deploy when the
procedures above are followed, do not go near
the module. Contact the MMSA Tech. Line.
5.Dispose of the air bag module after according
to the Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures (Refer to
DEPLOYED AIR BAG DISPOSAL
After deployment, the air bag module should be
of in the same manner as any other scrap parts, exc ept
the following points should be carefully noted during disposal.
(1) The inflator will be quite hot immediately foll owing
ment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it to co ol before
attempting to handle it.
(2) Do not put water or oil on the air bag after de ployment.
(3) There may be, adhered to the deployed air bag module,
material that could irritate the eyes
skin, so wear
gloves and safety goggles when handling a deployed
air bag module. IF DESPITE THESE PRECAUTIONS,
THE MATERIAL DOES, GET INTO
OR ON
THE SKIN, IMMEDIATELY RINSE THE AFFECTED AREA
WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF CLEAN WATER. IF ANY
IRRITATION DEVELOPS, SEEK ATTENTION.
(4) Tightly seal the air bag module in a strong pla stic bag
for disposal.
(5) Be sure to always wash your hands after this
operation.

AND VENTILATION General Information
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Because R-l refrigerant is a, hydrofluorocarbon
(HFC) which contains hydrogen atoms in place of
chlorine atoms, it will not cause damage to the
ozone layer.
Ozone filters out harmful radiation from the sun.
To assist in protecting the ozone layer, Chrysler
Corporation recommends an R-l refrigerant re-
cycling device.
Refrigerant R-l is transparent and colorless
in both the liquid and vapor state. Since it has
a boiling point of at atmospher-
ic pressure, it will be a vapor at all normal tempe ra-
tures and pressures. The vapor is heavier than
air, non-flammable, and nonexplosive. The follow-
ing precautions must be observed when handling
R-l
Caution
Wear safety goggles when servicing the refrig-
eration system.
R-l evaporates so rapidly at normal atmospher-
ic pressures and temperatures that it tends to free ze
anything it contacts. For this reason, extreme care
must be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant fro m
contacting the skin and especially the eyes. Always
wear safety goggles when servicing the refrigeratio n
part of the A/C system. Keep a bottle of sterile
mineral oil handy when working on the refrigeration
system. Should any liquid refrigerant get into the
eyes, use a few drops of mineral oil to wash them
out. is rapidly absorbed by the oil. Next
splash the eyes with plenty of cool water. Call your
doctor immediately even though irritation has
ceased after treatment.
Caution
Do not heat above
In most instances, moderate heat is required to
bring the pressure of the refrigerant inits
above the pressure of the system when charging
or adding refrigerant.
A bucket or large pan of hot water
over
is all the heat required for this purpose.
Do not heat the refrigerant container with a blow
torch or any other means that would raise tempera-
ture and pressure above this temperature. Do not
weld or steam clean on or near the system compo-
nents or refrigerant lines.
Caution
Keep
containers upright when charging
the system.
When adding into the refrigeration system
keep the supply tank or cans in an upright
position.
If the refrigerant container is on its or upside
down, liquid refrigerant will enter the
damage the compressor.
Caution
1.A leak detector designed
be used to check refrigerant gas
2.Do not allow liquid refrigerant to
metal.
Refrigerant will tarnish bright metal and chrome
surfaces, and in combination with moisture can
severely corrode all metal surfaces.

REFRIGERANT LEAK REPAIR
LOST CHARGE
If the system has lost all charge due to a leak:
1. Evacuate the system. (See procedure.)
2. Charge the system with approximately one pound o f refrigerant.
3. Check for leaks.
4. Discharge the system.
5. Repair leaks.
6. Replace receiver drier.
Caution
Replacement filter-drier units must be sealed while in storage. The drier used
will absorb water/water vapor quickly upon exposure to the atmosphere. When installing a
drier, have all tools and supplies ready for quick reassembly to avoid keeping the system
open anylonger than necessary.
,
7. Evacuate and charge system.
LOW CHARGE
If the system has not lost all of its refrigerant c harge; locate and repair all leaks. If it is necess ary to
increase the system pressure to find the leak (beca use of an especially low charge) add refrigerant.
If it is possible to repair the leak without discha rging the refrigerant system, use the procedure for
low refrigerant level.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS
Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in t he refrigerant hose lines will greatly reduce the capacity
of the entire system. High pressures are produced i n the system when it is operating. Extreme care
must be exercised to make sure that all connections are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter
the system when it is opened for repair or replacement of lines or components. The following precautions
must be observed. The system must be completely dis charged before opening any fitting or connection
in the refrigeration system. Open fittings with cau tion even after the system has been discharged. If
any pressure is noticed as a fitting is loosened, a llow trapped pressure to bleed off very slowly.
Never attempt to rebend formed lines to fit. Use th e correct line for the installation you are servicing.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is keep the radius of all bends at least 10 times the diameter
of the hose. Sharper bends will reduce the flow of refrigerant.
The flexible hose lines should be routed so that th ey are at least 80 mm (3 in.) from the exhaust mani fold.
It is good practice to inspect all flexible hose lines at least once a year to make sure they are in g ood
condition and properly routed.
O-rings used on connections are not reusable.
