Disposing of airbag and emergency tensioning
retractor units
Pyrotechnical airbag and emergency tensioning retrac-
tor units must be disposed of in accordance with coun-
try-specific laws and directives.
These safety measures are necessary because pyro-
technical materials could cause injury if activated
incorrectly.
Hazards arise from disposal using cutting torches, by
smelting, or if primed parts are disposed of on open
fires or smoldering fires on waste disposal sites.
We recommend having disposal of the pyrotechnical
objects carried out by a disposal specialist who can
satisfy the required safety measures (e.g. 10 m safe
distance, special ignition equipment).
When the materials are handed over, the waste dis-
posal company must sign a declaration containing the
obligation to dispose of the pyrotechnical materials
in accordance with accident prevention regulations.
Agreements of this kind must ensure that it is not pos-
sible to extract pyrotechnical materials after disposal
and to pass them on for repairs.
•
If emergency tensioning retractors that have not
been triggered require detonation for disposal pur-
poses, place them in the footwell of a vehicle which
has been sent for scrapping, and connect them
directly using a 2-pin plug.
•
If the upholstery pads on the airbag units have not
been destroyed, the airbag units must be detonated
by trained personnel using the 2-pin plug.
