AIR BAG MODULES DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Warning
•
Before scrapping a vehicle with an
undeployed air bag module, deploy the air
bag module. An undeployed air bag
module may deploy by accident causing
injury. Never dispose of an undeployed air
bag module.
Warning
• The air bag is very hot immediately after it
deploys. You can get burned. Do not touch
the air bag module for at least 15 minutes
after deployment.

Warning
• A deployed air bag module 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 a
deployed air bag module, always wear
gloves and safety glasses.
1. Put on gloves and safety glasses.
2. Place the deployed air bag module in a plastic
bag, seal it and then dispose of it.
3. Wash your hands after removing your gloves.
Warning
•
Pouring water on a deployed air bag is
dangerous. The water will mix with
residual gasses to form a gas that makes
breathing difficult. Do not pour water on
the deployed air bag module.
INSPECTION OF SST (DEPLOYMENT TOOL)
• Use the SST (Deployment Tool) to deploy a live
air bag module before disposal.
• Before connecting the SST (Deployment Tool) to
the clock spring, driver-side air bag module or
passenger-side air bag module, inspect the
operation of the
SST (Deployment Tool).
