5.6.4 Disposal of non-triggered pyrotechnic
components
♦ Airbags,
♦ seat belts,
♦ pyrotechnic battery isolation elements,
♦ and the triggering unit for the active front lid/bonnet
must be disposed of in their original packaging and in accordance
with national regulations. Please contact your regional office or
your Importer if you have any questions.
Note
Pyrotechnic components ignited in an accident can be disposed
of together with commercial refuse.
WARNING
This does not apply to Wankel-type belt tensioners.
These must be treated in the same way as pyrotechnic com‐
ponents which have not been triggered, as it is not possible to
use workshop equipment to check whether all stages have
been triggered.

ing on the airbag system and when performing straight‐
ening work during body repairs.
