Cleaning a car after airbag detonation

Cleaning a car after airbag detonation


When the airbag is triggered, talcum powder and combustion residues in the form of dust particles are released. Wear protective goggles and gloves to avoid the risk of skin and eye irritation when cleaning a car in which the airbag has been triggered.


Place the airbag in a tightly-closed plastic bag when it has been removed from the car. Bear in mind that the airbag's gas generator is extremely hot immediately after the airbag has been triggered.


Thoroughly clean all interior surfaces of the car with a vacuum cleaner.


Wash hands with soap and water after handling a detonated airbag.
