AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER FRONT BUCKLE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES [STANDARD DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM]

Warning

• A live (undeployed) air bag module or pre-tensioner front buckle may accidentally operate (deploy) when it is disposed of and cause serious injury. Always refer to the "AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER FRONT BUCKLE DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES" and dispose of air bag modules and pre-tensioner front buckles in a deployed condition.

• The air bag modules and the pre-tensioner front buckles are very hot immediately after they are deployed. You can be burned. Do not touch an air bag module and pre-tensioner front buckle for at least 15 min after deployment.

• Pouring water on the deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner front buckle is 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 front buckle.

• The deployed air bag module or pre-tensioner front buckle 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 the deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner front buckle, wear gloves and safety glasses.

1. Remove the deployed air bag module or pre-tensioner front buckle.

2. Put the air bag module or pre-tensioner front buckle in a plastic bag, seal the bag, and then dispose of it.
