UNDEPLOYED Air Bag Module Disposal: Notes
WARNING:
- If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise disposed of, deploy the air bags inside the vehicle. If the vehicle will continue to be used and only the air bag modules are to be disposed of, deploy the air bags outside the vehicle.
- Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the air bag is deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible.
- Since there is loud noise when the air bags are deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of the impending noise.
- Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel performing these procedures or by people in the immediate area.
