65 77... Notes On Scrapping BMW Vehicles With Gas Generators (Central Airbag Control Unit, Airbag System): Ignition

Triggering of the gas generators may only be carried out by expert personnel and under the supervision of a responsible person. Other standard accident prevention regulations (safety goggles, ear defenders etc.) must also be observed.

The gas generators must be fired from the outside in the vehicle scheduled for scrapping with the doors closed but with the tailgate, door windows and sunroof open. To fire the gas generators, use the BMW-developed triggering device with the corresponding cables.

WARNING: Once gas generators have been fired, observe a ventilation period of 10 minutes with the doors opened. Only then is it permitted to continue work inside the vehicle.
Wear protective goggles and protective gloves when handling a fired gas generator!
The burning of solid fuel will heat up airbag unit - danger of burning hands!
Wash skin with water after contact with fired gas generators!
