AIRBAG SYSTEM
14.Airbag Module Disposal (De-
ployment Processing After
Removal from Vehicle)
A: PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
• Do not discard an undeployed airbag module
because it may cause serious personal injury
when accidentally deployed.
• As a rule, airbag modules should be de-
ployed in the vehicle. Do not remove the airbag
modules unless necessary.
• Deployment of airbag modules should be
performed on a flat place in safety area. Avoid
deploying outdoors when rainy or windy weath-
er.
• Do not damage the airbag module or drop it.
• Deploying an airbag module causes a high
explosive noise, be sure to warn people in the
area, and do not allow anyone within 5 m (16 ft)
radius of the disposal site.
• Some smoke will be emitted after deployment
of the airbag module. Therefore, it must be de-
ployed in a well-ventilated place with no smoke
detector nearby.
• Wear protective gloves, safety goggles and
earplugs during this operation. Wash your
hands afterwards.
• After deployment, the airbag module is ex-
tremely hot, leave it unattended for 40 minutes,
and discard it.
• Do not let water get into the deployed airbag
module.
• Wrap the deployed airbag module in a sealed
vinyl bag, and discard it.
• If circumstances do not permit the airbag
module deployment, contact the SUBARU deal-
er.
