AIRBAG MODULE DEPLOYMENT
(IN VEHICLE)
Deploy airbags before disposing of them. If a vehicle to be
scraped, the airbag may be deployed inside the vehicle.
Caution: To avoid injury while deploying an airbag
or a pretensioner in the vehicle, observe the
following precaution:
Before deploying the airbags, remove all loose
objects from the airbag’s expansion area.
Deploy the airbags with the vehicle doors closed
and the side windows open.
Deploy the airbags only in an evacuated area.
Service personnel who must be present during
the deployment should be at least 10 meters (33
feet) in front of the vehicle.
Do not connect the voltage source until after
having completed all other preparations for the
deployment of the airbags.
Allow a deployed airbag module or pretensioner
to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.
Wear gloves and eye protection during the
disposal procedure.
If the deployment fails, disconnect the voltage
source and wait 5 minutes before approaching
the vehicle.
Deployment Procedure
Caution: The SDM can maintain sufficient voltage
to deploy the airbags for 0.15 seconds after the
Ignition is OFF and the airbag fuse has been
removed. If the airbags are not disconnected, service
cannot begin until one minute has passed after
disconnecting power to the SDM. If the airbags are
disconnected, service can begin immediately
without waiting for one-minute time period to
expire. Failure to temporarily disable the SRS
during service result in unexpected deployment,
personal injury, and otherwise unneeded SRS repair.
1. Disconnect both battery cables and place the
battery at least 10 meters (33 feet) from the vehicle.
2. Remove the knee bolster from the steering column.
Refer to Section 9G, Interior Trim.
3. At the lower steering column, cut the two wires
leading from the supplemental restraint system
(SRS) harness to the clock spring.
4. Strip 13 mm (0.5 inch) of the insulation from the
end of the wires leading to the clock spring.
5. Use two additional wires, each at least 10 meters
(33 feet) long, to reach from the deployment battery
to the inflator module.
6. Strip 13 mm (0.5 inch) of the insulation from the
ends of these two additional wires.

DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
DISPOSAL PROCEDURE
Caution: After deployment, a powdery residue may
be on the surface of the airbag. The powder consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag
as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical
reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye
soap) is produced as a by-product of the deployment
reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts
with atmospheric moisture and is converted to
sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (also
known as baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that
sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.
Caution: Wear gloves and eye protection during the
disposal procedure.
Caution: After deployment, the metal surfaces of the
airbag module will be hot. In order to avoid the risk
of an injury or a fire, do not place the deployed airbag
module near any flammable objects, and allow the
airbag module to cool for 30 minutes before handling.
Deploy an airbag or pretensioner before disposing of
it. This includes those in a whole vehicle being
scrapped. If the vehicle is still within the warranty
period contact the Daewoo regional service manager
for approval or special instructions before deploying
an airbag module or a pretensioner. Deployed airbag
module or pretensioner should be disposed of in the
same manner as other scrap parts, with the addition
of the following steps:
1. Place the deployed airbag or pretensioner in a
sturdy plastic bag.
2. Seal the plastic bag securely.
3. Wash your hands and rinse them with water after
handling a deployed airbag.
SRS WIRING REPAIR
Connector Repair
Caution: Before attempting any repairs, the SRS must
be disabled. Refer to “Disabling the SRS” in this
section for instructions on how to disable the SRS.
The terminals in the SRS are made of special metal to
provide necessary contact integrity for the sensitive,
low-energy circuits. These terminals are available only
in connector repair assembly packs. Do not substitute
any other terminals for those in the assembly packs.
Wire Repair
Caution: Before attempting any repairs, the SRS must
be disabled. Refer to “Disabling the SRS” in this
section for instructions on how to disable the SRS.
Do not repair any wires of supplemental restraint system
(SRS). Replace any damaged wires with new one.
