Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal

After deployment, the air bag module should be disposed of in the same manner as any other scrap parts, adhering to local laws and/or legislation. Observe the following precautions during air bag disposal:

  1. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it cool before attempting to handle it.
  2. Do not put water or oil on the air bag after deployment.
    WARNING: If after following these precautions, any material does get into the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the affected area with a large amount of clean water. If any irritation develops, seek medical attention.
  3. There may be material on the deployed air bag module, that could irritate the eye and/or skin. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed air bag module.
  4. Tightly seal the air bag module in a strong plastic bag for disposal.
  5. Be sure to always wash your hands after completing this operation.
