All models
In the Federal Republic of Germany, the airbag and emergency tensioning retractor units must be rendered unusable according to the accident prevention and safety regulations and the EU Directive on End-of-life Vehicles.
Airbag and emergency tensioning retractor units must be forwarded in their original packaging, via the familiar MeRSy disposal channel (Renz), for proper and environmentally-friendly scrapping.
In all countries except
national regulations governing proper disposal need to be complied with.
These safety precautions are necessary because pyrotechnic devices can inflict injuries when activated improperly.
