WARNING:
Make sure to follow the instructions below. Otherwise, personal injuries may occur.
• Before discarding an airbag module, always perform an operation process to prevent any false activation.
• Wear protective gloves, safety goggles and earplugs during this operation. Wash your hands afterwards.
• Do not touch the airbag module just after activation because it is very hot. Before handling it for disposal, wait for 40 minutes.
CAUTION:
• As a rule, airbag modules should be activated while still installed in the vehicle. Do not remove it unless necessary.
• Airbag module operation process should be performed on a flat place in safety area. Avoid activating it outdoors when rainy or windy weather.
• Activating an airbag module causes a high explosive noise, be sure to warn people in the area, and do not allow anyone within 5 m (16 ft) radius of the disposal site.
• After activating the airbag module, smoke may arise. Therefore, it must be activated in a well-ventilated place with no smoke detector nearby.
• Do not expose the activated airbag module to water.
• Wrap the activated airbag module in a sealed vinyl bag when discarding.
• If it is impossible to perform an airbag module operation process due to some situational reasons, consult SUBARU dealership or one of the authorized workshops.
