Hyundai Kona: Airbag Module / Airbag Module Disposal Description and operation
When you scrap a vehicle equipped with an airbag, you must deploy it first.
When you deploy an airbag, you need to have a skilled mechanic do the work.
The used airbag should not be reinstalled in another vehicle for reuse.

Upon deployment, the explosion will create a loud noise, so
you have to do it in a proper place not to disturb others.

select a place where there is no electric noise.
