If a vehicle is to be scrapped and contains an

manually deployed. This operation should only
be carried out using the following recommended
manual deployment procedure. Before
deployment is started the deployment tool self
test procedure should be carried out.
WARNING: Only use approved deployment
equipment, and only deploy SRS components in
a well ventilated designated area. Ensure SRS
components are not damaged or ruptured before
deployment. Notify the relevant authorities.
