SRS
Before either disposing of a vehicle equipped with an air bag, or
prior to disposing of the air bag module, be sure to first follow
the procedures described below to and deploy the air bag.
UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL
Caution
1. If the vehicle is to be scrapped, junked, or otherwise
disposed of, deploy the air bag inside the vehicle.
If the vehicle will continue to be operated and only the
air bag module is to be disposed of, deploy the air bag
outside the vehicle.
2. Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the
air bag is deployed, select a well-ventilated site.
Moreover, never attempt the test near a smoke sensor.
3. Since there is a loud noise when the air bag is
deployed, avoid residental areas whenever possible. If
anyone is nearby, give warning of the impending noise.
4. Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel
performing these procedures or by people in the
immediate area.
DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE
(when disposing a vehicle)
(1) Open all windows and doors of the vehicle. Move the
vehicle to an isolated spot.
(2) Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables
from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery
from the vehicle.
Caution
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery
cables before doing any further work. The SRS system
is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air
bag even after the battery has been disconnected.
Serious injury may result from unintended air bag
deployment if work is done on the SRS system
immediately after the battery cables are disconnected.
