Air Bag Systems: Service and Repair

Roll or fold the airbag towards its mounting point (i.e. instrument panel, steering wheel, or roof rail). Then tape the ripped cover over the deployed airbag if applicable.

Vacuum Heater And A/C Outlets - Typical:

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual powder from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well. If the heater or air conditioner was in RECIRC mode at time of airbag deployment, operate blower motor on low speed and vacuum powder residue expelled from the heater and A/C outlets. Multiple vacuum cleaning may be necessary to decontaminate the interior of the vehicle.
