Airbag Disposal
Special tool required |
Deployment tool 0957A-34100A
Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those in a whole
vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side airbags must be deployed. If the
vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags or
side airbags, the Technical Manager must give approval and/or special instruction.
Only after the airbags or side airbags have been deployed (as the result of
vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags or side
airbags appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow
this procedure.
Deploying airbags in the vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags or
side airbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. The airbags or side
airbags should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed
in another vehicle.
