RSX L4-2.0L (2005)
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 deployment 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) away from any obstacles or people.
3. Follow steps 9 through 12 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
Disposal of Damaged Components
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure for the driver's airbag, front passenger's airbag, side airbag, seat belt tensioner, and seat belt
buckle tensioner.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by cutting, stripping, and twisting together the 2 inflator wires.
NOTE: The driver's and passenger's airbag each have four wires: twist each pair of like-colored wires together.
3. Package the component in exactly the same packaging that the new replacement part came in.
4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SIDE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SEAT
BELT TENSIONER NOT DEPLOYED", or "DAMAGED SEAT BELT BUCKLE TENSIONER NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused
with your parts stock.
5. Contact your Acura District Parts and Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.
Deployment Tool Check
1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector handles on the tool; connect the tool to a battery.
2. Push the operation switch: green means the tool is OK; red means the tool is faulty.
3. Disconnect the battery and the yellow clips.
