AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULES DISPOSAL
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module disposal procedures can result in air bag deployment
which may cause personal injury. Undeployed air bag (inflator) module must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module contain substances that can cause severe illness or personal
injury if the sealed container is damaged during disposal.
Do not dispose of the live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
The method employed depends upon the final disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in ªDeployment Out-
side Vehicleº and ªDeployment Inside Vehicleº in this section.
Deployment Outside Vehicle disposing of the air bag (inflator) module(s) only (i.e., the vehicle itself will be. . . . . .
used again).
Deployment Inside Vehicle scrapping the entire vehicle including the air bag (inflator) module(s).. . . . . . . .
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE
Use this procedure when the vehicle itself is used again (only the air bag (inflator) module(s) are disposed of).
WARNING:
Following precautions must be observed for this work. Failure to observe any of them may result in
personal injury.
To avoid an accidental deployment, this work should be performed by no more than one person.
The procedure should be followed strictly as described here.
Be sure to read ªService Precautionsº in this section for the air bag (inflater) module beforehand.
Never connect deployment harness to any power source before connecting deployment harness to
the air bag (inflator) module. Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be connected to a
power source until the air bag is to be deployed.
Since a large amount of smoke is produced when air bag is deployed, select a well-ventilated area.
The air bag (inflator) module will immediately deploy the air bag when a power source is connected
