Deploying Airbags In the Vehicle: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, and seat belt tensioners, should be deployed while still in the vehicle. These parts should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK(0).
- Disconnect the negative cable to the battery, then wait at least 3 minutes before starting work.
- Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, side curtain airbag, or seat belt tensioner is securely mounted.
- Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label.
