through 26. If the passenger air bag assembly deployed as intended, proceed with Steps 20 through 23.
20. The passenger inflator requires no special precaution after deployment. 95% of the particulate emission are potassium chloride (KLC), which is
commonly sold as an edible salt-substitutes. even if water is applied. Post deployment products are relatively pH neutral. Disposing the inflator by
