DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE
DISPOSAL PROCEDURE
Caution: After an airbag
deployed, the surface of the airbag may contain a
powdery residue. The powder lubricates the airbag
as it inflates. The dust that is produced as a by-
product of the deployment is unlikely to be harmful,
but use the gloves and the safety glasses in order to
prevent any possible irritation of the skin and the
eyes.
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 modules near any flammable objects, and al-
low the airbag modules to cool for 30 minutes be-
fore handling them.
Deploy an airbag before disposing of it. This includes
those in a whole vehicle being scrapped.
