The Airbag Module Disposal Procedure: Notes

When disposing a vehicle that is equipped with an airbag system and other restraint devices such as seatbelt pretensioners, airbags must first be deployed.
Airbag deployment must be performed by an experienced technician.
Airbags that have been deployed cannot be reused and must not be mounted to any other vehicles.

CAUTION:

Deployment of airbags upon disposal of a vehicle is necessary as unintended deployment of such airbags can inflict serious physical injury.
At the time of disposal, the airbag module should, in principle, be deployed as it is mounted in the vehicle. Do not remove the airbag module unless it is absolutely necessary.
If the airbag module has been removed from the vehicle due to airbag replacement (when repairing after a traffic accident, during warranty repair, etc.), the module must be deployed outside the vehicle following the instructions that apply.
(Deploying the airbag module inside the vehicle may damage the vehicle.)
Do not disassemble module.
Do not damage the airbag module.
Do not drop the airbag module.
Deployment of the airbag module must be performed on an even surface where there are no risk elements.
To deploy the airbag system, operate the airbag module at least 7 meters away from the airbag system.
As it can emit smoke, deploy in a well ventilated area with no smoke detector nearby
To deploy the airbag system, use the specified special service tools at all times and perform the procedure in a location where there is no electrical noise.
Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and earplugs during deployment.
Keep deployed module away from water.
