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 Acura District Parts and 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, or seat belt tensioners appear intact
(not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle

airbags, side airbags, or seat belt tensioners should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
