Scrapping of cars fitted with seat belt tensioners and airbags, up to and including VIN W3088396 (US X3005843)
|
To avoid injury when scrapping cars equipped with airbags and seat-belt tensioners, all undetonated airbags and seat-belt tensioners must be rendered unserviceable by electric detonation before the car is scrapped, as described below.
These safety measures are essential, as the pyrotechnical units can cause serious injury and material damage if handled unprofessionally.
|
Note
|
|
The detonating device consists of an approximately 10-metre long two-conductor cable with a pushbutton, battery terminal clamps and connectors for plugging into the wiring harnesses.
|
|
The battery to which the detonating device is to be connected must be in good condition.
|
Warning
|
|
The airbag to be detonated must be correctly fitted in the car. Check that there are no loose objects in the vicinity of the airbag.
|
|
Detonation of a loose or unmounted airbag module could injure persons in the vicinity.
|
|
An accident could happen if an undetonated airbag or seat-belt tensioner is exposed to high temperature, such as in connection with scrapping, or if parts with an explosive charge start to burn or smoulder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Warning
|
|
Splicing of SRS leads is strictly prohibited.
|
|
Splicing can cause malfunctions which could render the system unserviceable and in the worst case lead to injury.

Scrapping belt tensioners
|
Belt tensioners should be triggered using detonating device 84 71 104 (B) and wiring harness 86 11 469 (A).
|
Warning
|
|
Belt tensioners that are to be detonated must be correctly fitted in the car.
|
|
Detonation of a loose or unmounted seat-belt tensioner could injure persons in the vicinity. An accident could happen if an undetonated seat-belt tensioner is exposed to high temperature, such as in connection with scrapping, or if parts with an explosive charge start to burn or smoulder.

10.
|
Place a battery about ten metres away from the car. Connect the detonating device to the battery.
Make sure that nobody is present within the safety distance of ten metres from the car.
|
|
11.
|
Trigger the airbag by pressing the detonating button. The sound of an explosion will be heard when the airbag detonates.
|
|
12.
|
Disconnect the detonating device's leads from the battery immediately after the airbag has detonated.
Wait until the reaction gases have dissipated. Be careful when unplugging the connector from the airbag gas generator as it could be warn. Use protective gloves.
|
|
