vehicle are clear of all people and loose or
flammable objects.

10) Stretch deployment harness (1) to its full length 10 m

(33 ft).

11) Place 12 volts vehicle battery (2) near shorted end of

deployment harness (1).

12) Completely cover windshield area and front door

window openings with drop cloth, a blanket or any
similar item. This reduces possibility of injury due to
possible fragmentation of vehicle’s glass or interior.

13) Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to

deploy air bag (inflator) module or activate seat belt
pretensioners.

NOTE

• When air bag (inflator) module deploys or

seat belt pretensioners activate, rapid gas
expansion will create substantial report.
Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all
people in immediate area that you intend
to deploy air bag (inflator) module or to
activate seat belt pretensioner and suitable
ear protection should be worn.

• After air bag (inflator) module has been

deployed, surface of air bag may contain
powdery residue. This powder consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate
air bag (inflator) module as it inflates) and
by-products of chemical reaction.

WARNING

!

• Do not place deployed air bag (inflator)

module and activated seat belt
pretensioners near any flammable objects.

• Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air

bag (inflator) module and activated seat
belt pretensioners.

• Wait for about 30 minutes before touching

any metal surface of air bag (inflater)
module or seat belt pretensioner modules.
Disregarding these precautions may cause
fire or personal injury.

Failure to follow procedures may result in fire
or personal injury.

14) Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment

harness (2).

15) Connect deployment harness (2) to 12 volts vehicle

battery (3). This will immediately deploy or activate
air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioners.

16) Disconnect deployment harness (2) from 12 volts

vehicle battery (3) and short two deployment
harness leads together by fully seating one banana
plug into the other.

17) Repeat Steps 3) through 16) to deploy / activate air

bag (inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners
which has not been deployed / activated, if any.

18) In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module

and seat belt pretensioners after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Step 24)
through 26). If air bag (inflator) module and seat belt
pretensioners did deploy / activate, proceed with
Steps 19) through 23).

19) Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean

off any fragments or discard it entirely.
