vated 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. Undeployed air bag (inflator) mod-
ule and inactivated seat belt pretensioner must not be
disposed of through normal refuse channels.

belt pretensioner contains substances that can cause
severe illness or personal injury if sealed container is
damaged during disposal.

sioner can be disposed of through normal refuse channels just

ately after deployment/activation is very hot. Wait for 30 min-
utes to cool it off before handling it.

sists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate air bag (infla-
tor) module as it inflates) and by-products of chemical
reaction. As with many service procedures, you should wear
