Discard Of Deployed Air Bag Module

After deployment and operation, the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner 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 or seat belt pre-tensioner disposal:

  1. Immediately after the air bag deployment, the inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before handling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more to cool.
  2. Do not pour water or oil onto the deployed air bag module.
  3. To the deployed air bag module, substances that irritate eyes and skin may be deposited. Therefore, wear gloves and protective glasses when handling the module. When the substance comes in contact with eyes or skin, flush with a large amount of water.
  4. Place the air bag module in the sturdy plastic bag, and seal the bag for disposal.
  5. After the work, be sure to wash your hands with water.
