Airbag units, deploying (disposal)

According to regulations, airbag units must be rendered unusable by igniting them electrically before scrapping the vehicle. This is necessary because the airbag unit is a pyrotechnic device that may cause injuries if activated in an improper manner (e.g. using a cutting torch).

• Remove airbag unit. See DRIVER'S AIRBAG UNIT, REMOVING AND INSTALLING UP TO 02.98  .

  Use J-44210 Deployment Fixture and refer to the Airbag & Pyrotechnic Deployment Device Instruction Booklet for proper deployment procedure.
