Airbag units, deploying (disposal)
WARNING!
DO NOT ignite airbag units in vehicles.
According to regulations, airbag units must be
rendered unusable by igniting them electrically
before scrapping the vehicle. This is necessary
because the airbag unit is a pyrotechnic device
that may cause injuries if activated in an
improper manner (e.g. using a cutting torch).
- Remove airbag unit
Use J-44210 Deployment Fixture and refer to the
Airbag & Pyrotechnic Deployment Device
Instruction Booklet for proper deployment
procedure.
