Disposal of Air Bag Module

NMRS0022

I

Before disposing of air bag module or vehicles equipped with
such systems, deploy the systems. If such systems have
already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of them as
indicated in “DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE” (RS-20).

I

When deploying the air bag module, always use the Special
Service Tool; Deployment tool KV99106400.

I

When deploying the air bag module, stand at least 5 m (16 ft)
away from the deployment component.

I

When deploying air bag module, a fairly loud noise is made,
followed by smoke being released. The smoke is not
poisonous, however, be careful not to inhale smoke since it
irritates the throat and can cause choking.

I

Always activate one air bag module at a time.

I

Due to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than
30 minutes after deployment.

I

Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag
module.

I

Never apply water to the deployed air bag module.

I

Wash your hands clean after finishing work.

I

Place the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m
(20 ft) on all sides when deploying air bag module while
mounted in vehicle.

I

Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully
charged.

I

Do not dispose of the air bag module un-deployed.

DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES FOR AIR BAG MODULE
(OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE)

NMRS0022S02

Unless the vehicle is being scrapped, deploying the air bag in the
vehicle is not recommended. This may cause damage to the
vehicle interior.
Anchor air bag module bracket (KV99105300) in a vise secured to
a firm foundation during deployment.

Deployment of Driver Air Bag Module (Outside of
vehicle)

NMRS0022S0201

1.

Using wire, secure air bag module to air bag module bracket
(SST: KV99105300) at two places.

CAUTION:

Use wire of at least 1 mm (0.04 in) diameter.
2.

Firmly secure air bag module bracket (SST: KV99105300) with
