Caution

Provide additional support when a vehicle is on a hoist in the following ways:

• Before removing parts, support the opposite end. This helps to prevent the vehicle
slipping off.

• Before removing the major components, chain the vehicle frame to the hoist pads at the
same end as the removal, this helps to avoid a tip-off.

Disconnect the battery prior to fluid removal and dismantling in order to reduce risk of fire
and personal injuries.

Always wear safety goggles when working with fuel inn order to protect the eyes from
splash.

Fuel vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Never
drain or store fuel in an open container, due to the possible of any fire or explosion. Have a
dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby always.

Relieve the fuel system pressure before dismantling fuel system component in order to
reduce the risk of fire accident and personal injuries.

Drain the fuel completely from the system like fuel injector nozzle, the fuel pump, fuel pipe
lines and the fuel tank. Draining the fuel will reduce the risk of fire accident and personal
injury.

Provide proper ventilation, when working with fuel in enclosed areas where fuel vapors can
collect. The lack of adequate ventilation may result in personal injuries.

While performing disassembly on or near the Airbag (SRS) components or the wiring point of
those components, cautions to be followed are listed below (

Applicable only on the models having

SRS system

).

• Be careful when handling the SRS sensor.

• Do not Strike or jolt a SRS sensor.

• Do not carry the inflator module by the wires or the connector on the inflator module.

• Make sure the airbag opening points away from your side.

• Follow the airbag (SRS) deployment procedure available before carrying out
the vehicle dismantling.

• Provide free space for the airbag to expand in case of an accidental deployment.

Note: If fail to follow these cautions could cause airbag deployment or some personal
injuries.

Airbag Deployment in End-of-Life Vehicles

Airbag Deployment in End-of-Life Vehicles (Single Stage Airbags)

Important Warning

An Airbag that has been removed from a vehicle should never be installed in any other
vehicle. We oppose reuse of airbag or any of its components. It must be noted that;

• An airbag may not work effectively even when it is taken from a vehicle of same make,

model and year of manufacturing.

• The difference between airbag systems are much more than just the trim covers

inclosing them.

• Installation of wrong airbag module or improper installation could increase the risk of

serious injury or death during collision.

• Any modification of airbag module, like; incorrect mounting, airbag size, inflator module

output, airbag vent size, airbag folding method or painting the cover surface could have
adverse effect on protection offered by airbag.

Removal or deployment of airbags before scrapping a vehicle eliminates the potential for
hazardous reactions during processing. A live airbag initiator can potentially discharge even
after it is separated from airbag assembly during processing. Airbags that have not been
fully deployed can cause human injury, damage of equipment. If special handling proce­dures are followed, airbags can be safely deployed and then recycled with the rest of the
vehicle or shipped separately to a recycling facility.

Single Stage Air-Bags

Such airbags have one initiator and a single charge of gas generating material. Single
stage airbags have one pair of wires that connects to the airbag module.

Important Safety Information

• The removal, handling, storage and deployment of airbags require special care. Only

trained professionals should perform this work. Personal performing these operations
should wear appropriate protection

• Only trained technicians should perform this work. Personal performing these

operations should wear appropriate protection, including eye and ear protection, during
air bag deployment.

• Do not dispose of a live (undeployed/partially deployed) air bag through normal disposal

channels until after it has been fully deployed.

Deployment of Airbags

Situations may arise that require the disposal of a live (undeployed/partially deployed) air
bag. If the entire vehicle is to be scrapped, the air bag must be deployed within the vehicle.

Recommended Procedure for Airbags Deployment

Whenever possible, full deployment of all air bags should take place in the vehicle prior to
vehicle recycling and disposal.

1. Disconnect the cables from the vehicle's battery(ies).

2. Wait at least 30 minutes for the energy-reserve capacitor to discharge.

3. Make a jumper-wiring harness of two wires 30 feet or longer for remote deployment of

the air bag. If the vehicle is equipped with two-stage air bags, additional harnesses will
be required.

4. At one end of the harness, connect the two leads together to reduce the chance of

unwanted deployment.

5. Locate and disconnect the wires leading to all airbags system.

6. Cut the wires leading to the air bags, leaving at least 4 inches to splice into the jumper.

7. Connect the ends of the jumper-wiring harness to the ends of the wires leading to the

air bag modules. Alligator clips may be used. Use tape or other insulating material to
make sure that the two leads do not make contact with each other. Both stages of a
two-stage air bag may be deployed at the same time by twisting together the corre­sponding wires from each stage, or the two stages may be wired and deployed sepa­rately.

8. Make sure that all air bag modules are properly mounted and secure in the vehicle.

9. Clear all loose items from the path of the air bag's deployment (for example, clear the

front seat for driver air bag deployment).

10.Notify all the people in the area that air bag deployment is about to occur, and move

everyone at least 30 feet from the vehicle.

11.Separate the leads on the wiring harness (from step 4) and touch the leads to the

terminals of a 12-volt automotive battery. Once the contact is made, airbag deployment
will occur. Make certain that both stages of a two-stage air bag have deployed.

12.Leave the fully deployed air bag(s) in the vehicle, or remove for separate recycling.

13.Some air bag modules may be hot. Allow the air bag to cool for approximately 20

minutes and the dust to settle before approaching the vehicle. Keep water and other
liquids away from the air bags. If powder from the air bag contacts the skin, wash with
water.

Note: Always disconnect the wires to avoid static electricity. Static electricity can
deployed the airbags system.

Component Parts Deemed to be Non Reusable

The below mentioned component parts of the vehicles belonging to the category M1

and to the category N1 which must not be reused in the construction of new vehicle.

List of Component Parts

- All airbags (¹), including cushions pyrotechnic actuators, electronic control units and
sensors (wherever applicable).

- Automatic or non automatic seat belt assemblies, including webbing, buckles retractors,
pyrotechnic actuators.

- Seats (only in the case where safety belts anchorages and/or airbags are incorpo-rated
in the seat).

- Steering lock assemblies acting on the steering column.

- Immobilisers, including transponders and electronic control units.

- Emission after-treatment systems (e.g. catalytic converters, particulate filters).

- Exhaust silencers.

(¹) when the air bags is inserted inside the steering wheel, the steering wheel itself act as an air bag

system.
