If the Car Is To Be Scrapped

If the car is to be scrapped

General
For intentional detonation of the SIPS bag Volvo recommends the following:
- If the car is to be scrapped, the SIPS bag must be detonated in position in the car, see item If the car is to be scrapped.
- If the removed SIPS bag is to be scrapped, the SIPS bag cushion module is secured in a vice before detonation, see item If the removed SIPS bag is to be scrapped.

Warning! Make sure no one is in the vehicle, and that no one is in front of the SIPS bag, when the SIPS bag is detonated. Detonation of a loose or dismantled SIPS bag can cause personal injuries.

Note! Protective glasses and ear-muffs must be worn when performing these steps.

If the car is to be scrapped




- Switch off the ignition.
Make sure that the SIPS bag is fitted correctly in the seat and that there are no loose parts around the SIPS bag.
- Install the transport lock on the sensor unit, see Procedure during service work Procedure During Service Work.
- Remove the sensor unit and loosen the igniter cable from the cable tie and clips, see item SIPS bag in the front seat, replacing SIPS Bag In the Front Seat, Replacing.
- Close the car's front doors and windows.
- Pull back the sensor unit to the floor behind the seat.
- Remove the transport lock from the sensor unit.
- Stand outside of the car and hit the middle of the sensor unit with a hammer.

If the removed SIPS bag is to be scrapped




- Check that the transport lock is fitted on the sensor unit.
- Secure the SIPS bag cushion module's assembly bracket in a vice, so that the cushion is directed away from the sensor unit.
Make sure that the cushion module is fitted correctly in the vice and that there are no loose parts around the SIPS bag.
- Remove the transport lock from the sensor unit.
- Stand so that the cushion is directed away from the sensor unit. Stand as far from the cushion module as possible.
- Hit the middle of the sensor unit with a hammer.
