UNDEPLOYED Airbag Module Disposal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Kia Spectra5, 2005 Kia Spectra, and 2004 Kia Spectra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • If the vehicle is to be scrapped, junked, or otherwise disposed of, deploy the airbag inside the vehicle.
  • Since there is a loud noise when the airbag is deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of the impending noise.
  • Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the airbag is deployed, select a well ventilated site. Moreover, never attempt the test near a fire or smoke sensor.
