Damaged Airbag Special Procedure.
WARNING: If an airbag cannot be deployed, it should not be treated as normal scrap; it should still be considered a potentially explosive device that can cause serious injury.
- If installed in a car, follow the removal procedure in airbag assembly replacement.
- Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging that the new replacement part came in.
- Make the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with your parts stock.
- Contact your Rover District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.

- Connect the YELLOW clips to both switch protector handles on the tool; connect the tool to a 12 V battery.
- Push the operation switch:
GREEN means tool is OK;
RED means tool is faulty. - Disconnect the battery and the YELLOW clips.
