Danger to health

DANGER TO HEALTH

Observe the following precautions when handling activated modules:

1. Use protective gloves and safety goggles.
2. Wash hands and exposed body parts after touching an activated air bag.

EFFECTS OF OVER-EXPOSURE

There is no potential risk of exposure to propellant because the system is fully sealed. The propellant mixture is in the solid state and cannot be inhaled even if the gas generator cartridge should break. There is no danger to human health if any gas should emerge. As a precaution, avoid contact wth the skin and do not ingest the propellant.

In the case of
- Contact with the skin: wash immediately with soap and water.
- Contact with eyes: rinse the eyes immediately with running water for at least 15 minutes.
- Inhalation: take the patient out into the open air immediately.
- Swallowing: induce vomiting if the person is conscious.
Always call a doctor under these circumstances.

SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR HANDLING AIR BAG MODULES

Under normal conditions, driver and passenger side air bags are activated after receiving an electronic trigger command during impact. The gas produced under these conditions is mainly non-toxic nitrogen. It is therefore important to ensure that personnel carrying out work on the device when fitted to the vehicle carefully observe the following safety regulations. Personnel working on the devices must be specially trained.
