Cleaning After A Deployment

WARNING: Wear goggles and gloves to avoid the risk of skin and eye irritation when cleaning a car in which the airbag has deployed.

^ When the airbag is deployed, talcum powder and combustion residues in the form of dust particles are released. These may contain traces of caustic soda.
^ When the airbag has been removed, place it in a tightly-sealed plastic bag. Remember that the airbag's gas generator will be very hot for some time after the airbag has deployed.
^ Thoroughly clean all interior surfaces of the car with a vacuum cleaner.
^ Wash your hands with a mild soap solution and lukewarm water after handling a deployed airbag.
