Deployment Tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, or seat belt tensioners (including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the part(s)
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 part(s). Only after the part(s) have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
If the parts appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, and seat belt tensioners should be deployed while still
in the vehicle. These parts should not be considered as salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode. Do the battery terminal disconnection
procedure See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Service and Repair/Procedures, then wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, side curtain airbag, or seat belt tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Confirm that the deployment tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool label.
