Airbag
Disposal
Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a whole
vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags must be deployed. lf
the vehicle is still within the warranty period, before you
deploy the ai.bags, the Honda District Service Manager
must give approval and/or special instructions, Only after
the airbags have been deployed {as the result of vehicle
collision, tor example), can they be scrapped.
lf the airbags appear intact {not deployed), treat them
with extreme caution.
Follow this procedure:
Deploying the Airbags: In-vohicl€
NOTE: It an SRS vehicle is to be entirely scrspped, its
airbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle. The
airbags should not be considered as salvageable pans
and should never be installed in another vehicle.
