Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the Honda
District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle
tensioners. Only after the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision,
for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat
them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying the Components Out of the Vehicle
If an intact airbag or tensioner has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found defective or damaged during transit, storage, or service, it
should be deployed as follows:
1. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure or on the tool label.
2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors on flat ground at least 30 feet (10 meters) from any obstacles or people.
3. Follow steps 10, 11, and 12 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
