Clean Up Procedure

Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves, particle dust mask and protective clothing with long sleeves. Place tape over exhaust vents in air bag so that no additional powder will escape into vehicle. Roll or fold passenger's air bag toward instrument panel surface and close cover over folded air bag. Tape cover closed. Remove driver's air bag module from vehicle then passenger's air bag module.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual powder from vehicle interior working from outside to center of vehicle. Be sure to vacuum heater and A/C ducts as well. Run blower motor on low speed and vacuum any powder expelled from plenum. It may be necessary to vacuum interior of vehicle a second time to ensure all powder is recovered.
