Air Bag: Service Precautions
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SERVICING AN AIR BAG VEHICLE AND WHEN HANDLING AN AIR BAG.
WARNING: SAFE HANDLING OF AIR BAG REQUIRES FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES FOR BOTH LIVE AND DEPLOYED AIR
BAGS.
Air Bags, Live
-
Carry a live air bag with the bag and trim cover pointed away from your body. An accidental deployment will then deploy with a minimal chance
of injury.
-
Place a live air bag on a bench or other surface with the trim cover up, away from the surface. This will reduce the motion of the module if it is
accidentally deployed.
Air Bags, Deployed
-
Safety precautions must also be observed when handling a deployed air bag.
-
Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed air bag.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the
skin.
-
Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterwards.
