Airbag Disposal
Special Tool Required
Deployment Tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty
period, the Honda District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instructions before deploying the airbags (and seat belt tensioners). Only
after the airbags (and seat belt tensioners) have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the 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 seat belt 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 8 through 11 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
