Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Storage, transportation and disposal of airbag, belt tensioner and battery
isolator units (pyrotechnic components)
| |
Storage must comply with the relevant national legislation. |
| |
Transportation is subject to national and international
regulations that govern packaging, marking, labelling and
freight documentation in detail. |
| |
Untriggered pyrotechnic components must be disposed of
correctly in the original packaging in accordance with national
legislation. Contact your importer if in any doubt. |
| |
Only completely ignited pyrotechnic components may be
disposed of through the commercial waste system. |
WARNING
-
| |
This does not apply to belt tensioners which
are operated by a Wankel type pump. Those must be
disposed of like pyrotechnic components which were
not triggered (e.g. airbags, seat belts, pyrotechnic
battery isolators). |
-
| |
Reason: On belt tensioners which are operated
by a Wankel type pump it is not possible to verify,
using workshop means, if all igniters have been
triggered. |
