Supplementary restraint system (SRS)Damaged Airbag Special Procedure.
  1. Connect a 12 volt battery to the deployment tool.
  2. If the GREEN light on the tool goes on, the airbag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Special Procedure
  3. If the RED light on the tool goes on, the airbag is ready to be deployed.
  4. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible; a loud noise and rapid inflation of the bag is followed by slow deflation).
  5. If audible/visible deployment happens and the GREEN light on the tool goes on, continue with this procedure.
  6. If the airbag doesn't deploy, yet the GREEN light goes on, it's igniter is defective, refer to the Damaged Airbag Special Procedure.

WARNING: During deployment, the airbag assembly can become hot enough to burn you. Wait thirty minutes after deployment before touching the assembly.

  1. Dispose of the complete airbag assembly. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag and seal it securely.

CAUTION:

  • Wear a face shield and gloves when handling a deployed airbag.
  • Wash your hands and rinse them well with water after handling a deployed airbag.

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.

  1. If installed in a car, follow the removal procedure in airbag assembly replacement.
  2. Package the airbag in exactly the same packaging that the new replacement part came in.
  3. Make the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with your parts stock.
  4. Contact your Rover District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.

Deployment Tool Check Procedure.

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