9J-90 AIR BAG SYSTEM
DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR)
MODULES DISPOSAL
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment which may
cause personal injury. Undeployed air bag (inflator) mod-
ules must not be disposed of through normal refuse
channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module contains sub-
stances that can cause severe illness or personal injury
if the sealed container is damaged during disposal.
Deployed air bag (inflator) modules (driver/passenger) can be dis-
posed of through normal refuse channels just like any other parts.
For their disposal, however, the following points should be noted.
D The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deployment is
very hot. Wait for 30 minutes to cool it off before handling it.
D Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module
to cool it off and be careful so that water, oil, etc. does not get on
the deployed air bag (inflator) module.
D After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the sur-
face of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder
consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it
inflates) and byproducts of the chemical reaction. As with many
service procedures, you should wear gloves and safety glasses.
D When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) module alone,
be sure to seal it in a vinyl bag.
D When air bag (inflator) module(s) have been deployed 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.
