Scrapping

For Deliberate Release Of SIPS Bag, Volvo Recommends The Following:
If the Car is to be scrapped, the SIPS bag should be released in place in the car.
If a removed SIPS bag is to be scrapped, the SIPS bag cushion module should be placed in a vise before release.

WARNING: Make sure that no one is in the car and no one is in front of the SIPS bag, when the SIPS bag is released. Release of a loosely clamped or unclamped SIPS bag can cause personal injury.

NOTE: Safety glasses and hearing protection should be used during this procedure.
