Mazda 6 Service Manual: Air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt disposal procedures
Warning
- Before scrapping a vehicle with a live (undeployed) air bag module
and pre-tensioner seat belt, deploy the air bag module and pre-tensioner
seat belt. Never dispose of a live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner
seat belt.
- The air bag module and the pre-tensioner seat belt are very hot
immediately after they are deployed. You can get burned. Do not touch the
air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt for at least 15 minutes after
deployment.
- Pouring water on the deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat
belt is dangerous. The water will mix with the residual gases to form a gas
that can make breathing difficult. Do not pour water on the deployed air bag
module and pre-tensioner seat belt.
- The deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt may contain
deposits of sodium hydroxide, a caustic byproduct of the gas-generated
combustion. If this substance gets into your eyes or on your hands, it can
cause irritation and itching. When handling the deployed air bag module and
pre-tensioner seat belt, wear gloves and safety glasses.
- Due to the adoption of 2-step deployment control in both the driver
and passenger-side air bag modules, depending on the impact force, it is
possible that inflator No. 2 might not deploy. In such cases, before
disposing of the air bag module, make sure to follow the inflator deployment
procedures and verify complete deployment of inflator No. 1 and 2.
1. Put on gloves and safety glasses.
2. Put the deployed air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt in a plastic
bag, seal it, and then dispose of it.
3. Wash your hands after removing your gloves.
