Airbag Deployment When Scrapping Vehicle

HINT: When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the airbag in accordance with the procedure described. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.. When disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly with an airbag deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given in Deployment When Disposing of Front Passenger Airbag Only.
