Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side airbags must be deployed. If the
vehicle is still within the warranty period, before deploying the airbags or side airbags, the Honda District Technical Manager must give approval and/or
special instruction. Only after the airbags or side airbags have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags or side airbags appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure of driver's airbag , front passenger's, and side airbag.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together the two airbag inflator wires.
3. Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging that the new replacement part come in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED" "DAMAGED SIDE AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get
confused with your parts stock.
5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.
