AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
WARNING:
-
A live (undeployed) air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt may accidentally operate (deploy) when it is disposed of and cause serious
injury. Always refer to the "AIR BAG MODULE AND pre-tensioner SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES" and dispose of air
bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts in a deployed condition. See: Air Bag Module and Pre-Tensioner Seat Belt Deployment Procedures
-
The air bag modules and the pre-tensioner seat belts are very hot immediately after they are deployed. You can be burned. Do not touch
an air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt for at least 15 min 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 or 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 operate (deploy). Before disposing of the air bag module, always follow the inflator deployment
procedures and verify the complete operation (deployment) of inflators No.1 and 2.
1. Remove the deployed air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt.
2. Put the air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt in a plastic bag, seal the bag, and then dispose of it.
