-
Do not set a live air bag module down with the trim cover face down. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
-
Carry a live seat side air bag module with the air bag and tear seam pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an accidental deployment.
-
Deployment is to be carried out outdoors with all personnel at least 9.14 meters (30 feet) away to make sure of personal safety. Due to the loud
report which occurs when the air bag is deployed, hearing protection is required.
-
After deployment, the air bag surface can contain deposits of sodium hydroxide, a product of the gas generant combustion that is irritating to the
skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
NOTE:
-
For air bag modules with multiple squibs, all the squibs on the air bag module must be deployed.
-
Some driver and passenger front air bags have 2 deployment stages. After a crash event it is possible that stage 1 has deployed and the second
stage has not.
If a front air bag module has deployed, it is mandatory that the front air bag module be remotely deployed using the appropriate air bag disposal
procedure.
-
A typical air bag disposal is shown that is similar for all vehicles.
All driver, passenger and seat side air bag modules
1. Make a container to house the air bag module for deployment.
-
NOTE: The tires must be of sufficient size to accommodate the air bag module.
Obtain a tire and wheel assembly and an additional 4 tires (without wheels) of the same size.
-
With the tire and wheel assembly on the bottom, stack the tires.
-
Securely tie all of the tires together.
2. Depower the system.
3. Remove the air bag module.
4. NOTE: If the air bag module does not have a hard-wired pigtail, it will be necessary to cut the wires and connector(s) from the vehicle wire
harness and reconnect to the air bag module.
Cut each of the air bag module wires near the electrical connector that connects to the vehicle wire harness.
5. Remove any sheathing (if present) and strip the insulation from the ends of the cut wires.
