Disposal Procedures
AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
WARNING:
-
Before scrapping a vehicle with a live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt, deploy the air bag module and
pre-tensioner seat belt. Never dispose of a live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt.
-
The air bag module and the pre-tensioner seat belt are very hot immediately after they are deployed. You can get burned. Do not touch
the air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt for at least 15 minutes after deployment.
-
Pouring water on the deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt is dangerous. The water will mix with the residual gases to
form a gas that can make breathing difficult. Do not pour water on the deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt.
-
The deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a caustic by-product of the
gas-generated combustion. If this substance gets into your eyes or on your hands, it can cause irritation and itching. When handling the
deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt, wear gloves and safety glasses.
-
Due to the adoption of 2-step deployment control in both the driver and passenger-side air bag modules, depending on the impact force, it
is possible that inflator No. 2 might not deploy. In such cases, before disposing of the air bag module, make sure to follow the inflator
deployment procedures and verify complete deployment of inflators No. 1 and 2.
