Disposal of Airbag Module (Deploying After Removal from Vehicle)
12.Disposal of Airbag Module
(Deploying After Removal
from Vehicle)
A: OPERATION
CAUTION:
 Do not discard an undeployed airbag module
because it may cause serious personal injury
when accidentally deployed.
 As a rule, the airbag module should be de-
ployed while still installed in the vehicle. Do not
remove the airbag modules unless necessary.
 Deployment of the airbag module should be
done on a flat place free from any possible dan-
ger. Avoid deploying outdoors during rainy or
windy weather.
 Do not damage the airbag module or drop it.
 Deploying the airbag module causes a high
explosive noise, be sure to warn people in the
area, and do not allow anyone within a 5 m (16
ft) radius of the disposal site.
 Some smoke will be emitted from deployment
of the airbag module. Therefore, it must be de-
ployed in a well ventilated place with no smoke
detector nearby.
 Wear protective gloves, safety goggles and
earplugs during this operation. Wash your
hands afterwards.
 After deployment, the airbag module will be
especially hot, leave it unattended for 40 min-
utes, and then discard it.
 Do not let water get on the deployed airbag
module.
 Wrap the deployed airbag module in an air-
tight vinyl bag, and discard it.
 If circumstances do not permit the airbag
module deployment, contact the SUBARU deal-
er.

AIRBAG SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTIC)
General Description
 If any damage, opening, or rust is found on the
airbag system wiring harness, do not attempt to re-
pair using soldering equipment. Be sure to replace
the faulty harness with a new genuine part.
 Install the wiring harness securely with the spec-
ified clips to avoid interference or tangled up with
other parts.
 Do not allow water or oil to come in contact with
the connector terminals. Do not touch the connec-
tor terminals. Either of the airbag modules for driver, passen-
ger or side, or pretensioner must not be disassem-
bled.
 The airbag module cannot be used again once
inflated.
 After removal, keep the airbag module with the
pad facing upward on a dry, clean, and flat surface
away from heat and light sources, and moisture
and dust.
 Do not check continuity of either of the airbag
modules for driver, passenger or side, or preten-
sioner.

each other. If the airbag inflates for some reason when it is placed with its pad side facing downward or under
any object, a serious accident may result.
