WARNING
Danger of injury and damage to property as a result of incorrect handling of airbag units!
Please observe the following points:
• Before disposal, the airbag units must be rendered harmless by electrical ignition and while observing
all precautionary measures, thereby preventing them being used incorrectly!
Note
• Airbag units are pyrotechnical items and can pose an environmental hazard!
• For this reason, non−ignited airbag units or entire vehicles must not be disposed of as normal scrap,
refuse or in other final storage facilities.
• If the vehicle had suffered fire damage which caused one or several airbags or the belt tensioner to be
ignited, additional ignition with the ignition device 9257 must be carried out in order to ensure that
only parts without pyrotechnical contents are scrapped!
• In the case of airbag units which cannot be ignited or if the conditions for safe ignition are
insufficient, always return the airbag units to Porsche or the respective importer in their original
packaging!
