Deployed Air Bag Clean-Up

WARNING: Irritation to skin, eyes, nose, or throat is possible. Vehicle interior will contain sodium hydroxide powder, a by-product of air bag deployment. This powder can irritate skin, eyes, nose, or throat. Be sure to wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up.
  1. Begin clean-up by putting tape over air bag exhaust vent, so no additional powder will escape into vehicle interior. Remove air bag modules. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual powder from vehicle interior. To avoid kneeling or sitting on a non-cleaned area, clean from outside vehicle and work your way inside.
  2. Remove any residual powder from A-C-heater outlets. Turn blower motor to low for a few minutes and exit vehicle. Turn blower off. Vacuum any additional powder expelled from plenum. Vacuum interior a second time to recover all powder.
