10B-64 AIR BAG SYSTEM
DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR)
MODULE AND ACTIVATED SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONER DISPOSAL
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module and seat
belt pretensioner disposal procedures can result in air bag
deployment and pretensioner activation which may cause
personal injury. The undeployed air bag (inflator) module
and the inactivated seat belt pretensioner must not be dis-
posed of through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and the inacti-
vated seat belt pretensioner contains substances that can
cause severe illness or personal injury if the sealed contain-
er is damaged during disposal.
Deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat belt pre-
tensioner can be disposed of through normal refuse channels just
like any other parts. For their disposal, however, following points
should be noted.
D The air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner im-
mediately after deployment/activation is very hot. Wait for 10 min-
utes to cool it off before handling them.
D Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module
and the activated seat belt pretensioner to cool it off and be care-
ful so that water, oil etc. does not get on the deployed air bag (in-
flator) module and the activated seat belt pretensioner.
D After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the surface
of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder con-
sists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it in-
flates) and byproducts of the chemical reaction. As with many ser-
vice procedures, you should wear gloves and safety glasses.
D When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) module and the
activated seat belt pretensioner, be sure to seal it in a vinyl bag.
D When air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioner have
been deployed/activated inside the vehicle which is going to be
scrapped, leave them as installed to the vehicle.
D Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water after han-
dling it.
