WARNING:

Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental

WARNING:

After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium 
hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to 
the skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.

WARNING:

The safety belt pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device. Always wear safety 
glasses when repairing an air bag equipped vehicle and when handling a 
safety belt buckle pretensioner or safety belt retractor pretensioner.
