Deployed Driver Airbag Clean Up

STANDARD PROCEDURE - DEPLOYED DRIVER AIRBAG CLEAN UP

Roll or fold the driver airbag towards the steering wheel and then tape the bag to the steering wheel.

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 HVAC was in RECIRC mode at time of airbag deployment, operate HVAC blower on low speed/heat and vacuum powder residue expelled from the heat outlets. Multiple vacuum cleaning may be necessary to decontaminate the interior of the vehicle.
