Since this powder can irritate skin, eyes, nose, or throat, be sure to wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and long-sleeved shirt during clean-up. See DEPLOYED AIR BAG CLEAN-UP under DISPOSAL PROCEDURES.

CAUTION: Failure to position wheels in straight-ahead position with steering wheel locked when removing steering wheel could damage clockspring and/or require clockspring readjustment.
