Scrapping cars with airbags and belt tensioners, 4D

Scrapping cars with airbags and belt tensioners, 4D

Warning

The airbags and seat belt tensioners activation unit are classed as pyrotechnic articles and are to be stored and handled in accordance with the rules and regulations applying in the country in question.


To prevent damage when scrapping cars with airbags and belt tensioners, untriggered pyrotechnic components must be rendered unusable by electrical detonation as described below before the car is scrapped.

These safety measures are essential, as the pyrotechnical units can cause serious injury and material damage if handled unprofessionally.

Warning

Pyrotechnical components must be correctly fitted in the car before activation. Make sure there are no loose objects in the vicinity of the component.

Activating a loose or dismantled airbag module can cause personal injury.

Safe distance for activation is 10 metres.

There is a risk of accidents if an unactivated pyrotechnical component is exposed to high temperatures while scrapping, for example, or if charged parts start to burn or smoulder.


Warning

Do not splice any leads of the airbag system.

Splicing can cause malfunctions that render the system inoperable and can lead to serious or fatal injuries.


Note

The detonation device used consists of twin-lead cable approx. 10 m long with push-button and battery clamps and connector for connection to the wiring harness. The wiring harness is changed depending on which component in the airbag system is to be scrapped.

The battery to which the detonating device is to be connected must be in good condition.
