Kia Sorento: Airbag Module Disposal Procedure
| Airbag Module Disposal Procedure |
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an airbag system such as an airbag or seat belt pretensioner, the airbag
must be deployed first. When deploying the airbag, it must be deployed by a skilled technician, and the used airbag
cannot be reused, so it must not be installed in another vehicle.
|
•
|
When scrapping a vehicle, the airbag should, in principle, be deployed while installed in the
vehicle. Do not remove the airbag except unavoidable circumstances.
|
|
•
|
If the airbag is removed from the vehicle due to airbag replacement (accident repair, warranty
repair, etc.), refer to the relevant manual and deploy it outside the vehicle. (Deploying the airbag
inside the vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle.)
|
|
•
|
Do not disassemble the airbag.
|
|
•
|
Be careful not to damage the airbag.
|
|
•
|
Be careful not to drop the airbag.
|
|
•
|
When deploying the airbag, deploy it at least 7 m (22.97 ft.) away from the airbag.
|
|
•
|
When deploying the airbag, always use the special tool and perform it in a place without electrical
noise.
|
|
|
•
|
If an undeployed airbag is accidentally deployed, it may cause serious injury, so it must be
disposed after deployment.
|
|
•
|
Deployment of the airbag must be performed on a level ground with no risk elements.
|
|
•
|
An explosion sound occurs when the airbag is deployed, perform it in a place where there is no
damage to the surroundings.
|
|
•
|
Smoke may occur when the airbag is deployed, perform the deployment of the airbag in area with good
ventilation and no smoke detector nearby.
|
|
•
|
The airbag is very hot after deploying, so wait at least 30 minutes and let it cool before touching
it.
|
|
•
|
Keep the deployed airbag away from water.
|
|
|
•
|
Wash hands thoroughly with soap after deploying, repacking, and disposal of the airbag.
|
|
•
|
Always wear protective gloves, goggles and earplugs when deploying the airbag.
