Disposal Procedure

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. Never dispose of a live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt.
- The air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt are very hot immediately after it is 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 are 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.

1. Put on gloves and safety glasses.
2. Put the deployed air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt in a plastic bag, seal it, and then dispose of it.
3. Wash your hands after removing your gloves.
