Air Bag Disposal
Air Bag Disposal
Deployed Air Bag
1. WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Deployed air bag modules are to be disposed of as special waste and must comply with local environmental requirements, if in doubt, contact Authority for disposal requirements.
2. NOTE: The storage, transportation, disposal, and/or recycling of air bag module components must be carried out in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations including, but not limited to, those governing building and fire codes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, and transportation.
Modules removed and deployed by Jaguar service are to be returned to the importer for disposal.
Undeployed Air Bag Inoperative
1. WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover or deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
NOTE: All inoperative air bag modules have been placed on the Mandatory Return List. All discolored or damaged air bag modules must be treated the same as any inoperative live air bag being returned. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury. Remove the inoperative driver air bag module or passenger air bag module.
Undeployed Air Bag - Scrapped Vehicle
Remote Deployment
1. WARNING:
- Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
- Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover or deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
- Remote deployment is to be carried out outdoors with all personnel at least 6.1 meters (20 feet) away to ensure personal safety. Due to the loud report which occurs when the air bag is deployed, hearing protection is required. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
- Do not place the driver or passenger air bag module with the trim cover or deployment door facing down, as the forces of the deploying air bag can cause it to ricochet and cause personal injury. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Equipment required: Universal deployment tool-Part N degree 418-135 and 12 V Battery.
2. The deployment procedure should be carried out outdoors away from other personnel.
3. Remove any loose debris from around air bag. Make sure that no flammable liquids are present.
4. Disconnect the battery ground and positive cables.
5. Disconnect the relevant air bag module electrical connector.
6. Connect the appropriate adaptor lead to the restraint device.
7. Connect the deployment lead to the adaptor lead. Pass wire of the deployment tool through window, close all doors, leave window with lead for deployment tool open.
8. WARNING:� Before proceeding, make sure precautions have been taken to warn personnel of a possible loud noise upon activation. Do not allow anybody to approach closer to restraint device than six meters. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Move as far from restraint device as possible and connect the tool clips to a 12V vehicle battery.
9. WARNING: Do not handle the deployed device immediately after activation - it may be hot. allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes. Cooling modules should be continuously monitored to make sure heat does not create a fire with spilled liquids or other debris. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Deploy the module by depressing both switches on the tool. If activation does not occur, disconnect battery from tool and seek advise from Jaguar Engineering and wait for further instructions.
10. Repeat procedure for all air bags in vehicle.
11. The vehicle is now to be scrapped in the normal manner with modules installed.
Disposal of live air bag modules for all air bags, using tyres
1. Equipment required: Deployment tool 418-S135, Battery (12V), Safety goggles to BS2092 grade 2, Rubber gloves to PrEN 374 class 2, Ear protectors that have been measured to BS.EN 24869, Particulate respirator to EN 149 grade FFP2S
2. The deployment procedure should be carried out outdoors, away from other personnel.
3. Stack four scrap tyres, securing together with heavy gauge wire or cable. while disconnected from any electrical power source, connect deployment harness and place air bag adaptor portion under tyre stack, ready for connection to air bag.
4. WARNING: Power must not be connected during this step. failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Make sure the connector is not in contact with the inflator or it will be damaged during the test.
Connect air bag to air bag connector, make sure the locking sleeve is fully engaged. position the air bag with the cover facing upwards.
5. Make sure battery connections of deployment harness are ten meters away from the tyre stack
6. Remove any loose from around the air bag . Make sure that no flammable liquids are present.
7. WARNING: Before proceeding, make sure precautions have been taken to warn personnel of a possible loud noise upon activation. Do Not allow anybody to approach closer to restraint device than six meters. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Move as far from restraint device as possible and connect the tool clips to a 12V vehicle battery.
8. WARNING: Do not handle the deployed device immediately after activation - it may be hot. allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes. Cooling modules should be continuously monitored to make sure heat does not create a fire with spilled liquids or other debris. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
Deploy the module by depressing both switches on the tool. If activation does not occur, disconnect battery from tool and seek advise from Jaguar Engineering and wait for further instructions.
9. Allow the air bag to cool for at least 20 minutes. Cooling modules should be continuously monitored to make sure heat generated a fire with spilled liquids or other debris.
10. Remove the air bag from the tyre stack and seal in a plastic bag, ready for disposal.
11. In the event of any problems or queries arising from this procedure, contact Jaguar Engineering.
