Deployed Air Bag Clean-Up

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Concorde, and 2002 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Vehicle interior will contain sodium hydroxide powder, a by-product of air bag deployment. Irritation to skin, eyes, nose, or throat is possible. 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.
