Airbag Disposal: Notes
When you scrap a vehicle equipped with an airbag, you must deploy it first.
When you deploy an airbag, you need to have a skilled mechanic do the work. The used airbag should not be reinstalled in another vehicle for reuse.
CAUTION:
- Upon deployment, the explosion will create a loud noise, so you have to do it in a proper place not to disturb others.
- When you deploy an airbag, use a specially designated tool and select a place where there is no electric noise.
- When operating the airbag deployment tool, you must be at least 5 meters away from the airbag.
- Upon deployment, the airbag gives off an intense heat. So wait for 30 minutes or so before touching it.
- Make sure to use gloves and safety goggles when you deal with the deployed airbag.
- Do not spread water over the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands after the deployment work is completed.
