DISPOSING OF USED AIR BAG MODULES
Air bag modules fitted to a vehicle must not be demolished with the vehicle but must be removed be­
forehand.
Air bags cannot be scrapped without first being activated.
If the air bag module does not go off during an accident, the device must be considered still set to go off.
All unexploded material must be sent to GEMCA in Chivasso, indicating the following wording on the
delivery note:
"AIR BAG/PRETENSIONER DEVICE CONTAINING PYROTECHNIC CHARGE TO BE DE-ACTIVAT­
ED".
Devices must be sent to GEMCA in the original packs in which the parts were received. If these are not
available, the empty pack can be ordered from the Volvera parts store.
If air bag - pretensioner devices are replaced, the original pack must be kept to use when forwarding un-
activated devices to GEMCA.
Foreign markets
Check current local legislation for foreign markets and inform dealers.
Failure to respect the instructions listed here may cause air bags to be activated when not re­
quired and lead to personal injury. Unactivated air bags must NO T be disposed of via the normal
refuse disposal channels. Unactivated air bags contain harmful substances that could cause
personal injury if the sealed container is damaged during disposal. Failure to dispose of air bags
in accordance with these instructions could constitute a breach of current legislation.
Ordering procedure
If necessary, devices may be ordered as required from the Parts After-sale department in Volvera using
only the VOR procedure because Dealers should not hold a stock of such parts. In any case, during in­
ternal handling they should be entered in a charge/discharge register which shows module identifica­
tion numbers and vehicle data (chassis no., registration data, model etc.)
NOTE For foreign markets, check current legislation and inform dealers accordingly.
