Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, or seat belt tensioners (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags, side airbags, or seat
belt 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, or seat belt tensioners. Only after the airbags, side airbags, or seat belt tensioners have been
deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the airbags, side airbags, and seat belt tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying 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 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 8 through 10 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
