Additional Head Curtain Airbag Safety Precautions

Visually inspect the trim panels for damage before every installation.
Always replace damaged pillar trim panels, never repair.
Make sure the trim panels are secure when installing.
Always replace the entire module when making repairs behind the head curtain airbag.
Handle head curtain airbag modules with great care when removing and installing them to prevent causing any damage.
Place any removed head curtain airbag modules back in their shipping packaging or on a clean and level surface with a cloth underneath.
After servicing the body near the head curtain airbag, check the body for welding beads, deformation and chafe marks (compare with opposite side of vehicle).
As long as the gas generator is not attached, hold it securely when transporting, removing, installing, etc.
Never rotate, coil, knot, throw, slide, push, hang, squeeze, press, pinch or clamp the head curtain airbag module.
They may be folded as long as this does not damage them, especially the protective cover.
