AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL PROCEDURES [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]

WARNING:

  • A live (undeployed) air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt or lap 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, pre-tensioner seat belts and lap pre-tensioner seat belts in a deployed condition. (See AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)

  • The air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts and lap pre-tensioner seat belts are very hot immediately after they are deployed. You can be burned. Do not touch an air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt for at least 15 min after deployment.

  • Pouring water on the deployed air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap 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, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt.

  • The deployed air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt or lap pre-tensioner seat belt may contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a caustic byproduct 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, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt, wear gloves and safety glasses.

1. Remove the deployed air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt or lap pre-tensioner seat belt.
2. Put the air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt or lap pre-tensioner seat belt in a plastic bag, seal the bag, and then dispose of it.
