Disposal Of UNDEPLOYED Air Bag Modules
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- If the vehicle is to be scrapped or disposed of, deploy the air bags inside the vehicle.
- If the vehicle is still to be used and only the air bag modules are to be discarded, deploy the air bags outside the vehicle.
- Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the air bags are deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible. Also, do not perform the operation near the smoke detector.
- Since there is substantial report when the air bags are deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of the impending noise.
- Suitable ear protection must be put on by personnel performing these procedures or by people in the immediate area.
