Airbag Assembly (SRS-Type III)

Scrapping

Before scrapping any airbags (including those in a whole car to be scrapped) the airbags must be deployed. If the car is still within the warranty period, before you deploy the airbags the local Honda Service Manager, must give approval and/or special instructions. Only after the airbags have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags appear intact (not deployed) treat them with extreme caution.

Follow this procedure:
