Kia Sportage: Airbag Module Disposal: Description and Operation
Deployment tool 0957A-34100A
Before scrapping any airbags or side airbags (including those
in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags or side airbags must be
deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, before
deploying the airbags or side airbags, the Technical Manager must give
approval and/or special instruction. Only after the airbags or side
airbags have been deployed (as the result of vehicle collision, for
example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags or side airbags appear
intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme caution. Follow this
procedure.
Deploying Airbags In The Vehicle

airbags or side airbags should be deployed while still in the vehicle.

parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
