Fine dust or steam may be released when the airbags trigger. This is normal and does not mean that there is a fire in the vehicle.
The fine dust can cause irritation to the skin and eye membranes and cause breathing difficulties, particularly for people suffering from
asthma or people who have (had) other respiratory problems. To help reduce breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle or open the
windows or doors for more fresh air.
If you come into contact with the dust, you should wash your hands and face with a mild soap and water before eating.
Do not let the dust get into your eyes or into open wounds.
If dust has entered your eyes, rinse them with water.
WARNING
Cleaning agents that contain solvents cause the surface of the airbag modules to become porous. In an accident that triggers the airbag, loose
plastic parts can cause serious injury.
Never clean the dash panel or the airbag covers with cleansers that contain solvents.
