AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-260

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE
<CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE>

WARNING

•

This should be carried out in a wide, flat
area at least 6 m away from obstacles and
other people.

•

Do not deploy outside if wind is high.
Even in a soft wind, ignite to windward of
the air bag modules.

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cables before doing any further
work (Refer to

P.52B-7

).

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery

cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

WARNING

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the
curtain air bag module connector short
automatically to prevent accidental
deployment caused by static etc. Still, in
consideration of the accidental deployment,
store the air bag module on flat place with
deployment surface facing up. Also, do not
put anything on it.

2. Remove the headlining (Refer to GROUP 52A,

Headlining

P.52A-17

).

3. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking

button of the harness-side connector (2-pin,
black) by with drawing it toward you in two stages.

4. Disconnect the G-01 or G-04 harness side

connector.

5. Cut the inflator and the air bag with a cutter.

6. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the
passenger's air bag from accidental deployment
caused by static etc.

7. Feed a thick wire through the bracket of the

inflator, and connect it to an old tyre with a wheel.

8. Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness

(MB991885) to the inflator connector.

9. Place three old tyres without wheels on top of the

tyre secured to the air bag module, and secure all
tyres together with ropes (four locations).

WARNING

•

Before deployment, check carefully to be
sure that no one is nearby.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately
following the deployment, so wait at least
30 minutes to allow it to cool before
attempting to handle it. Although not
poisonous, do not inhale gas from air bag
deployment. See Deployed Air Bag
Module and Operated Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ) for
post-deployment handling instructions.

•

If the air bag fails to deploy, do not go
near the module. Contact your distributor.

10.At a location as far away from the air bag module

as possible, and from a shielded position,
disconnect the two connected wires from each
other, and connect them to the two terminals of
the battery (which has been removed from the
vehicle) to deploy the air bag.

11.Discard the deployed inflator as specified in

Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ).

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
<SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER>

WARNING

•

This should be carried out in a wide, flat
area at least 6 m away from obstacles and
other people.

•

Do not deploy outside if wind is high.
Even in a soft wind, ignite to windward of
the air bag modules.

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cables before doing any further
work (Refer to

P.52B-7

).

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery

cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

WARNING

Store the operated seat belt pre-tensioner
the correct way up with its operation surface
upper most on a flat surface. Do not place
anything on top of them.

2. Remove the seat belt pre-tensioner from the

vehicle (Refer to

P.52B-239

).

3. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking

button of the harness-side connector (2-pin,
black) by with drawing it toward you in two stages.

4. Disconnect the D-19 or D-32 harness side

connector.

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the
passenger's air bag from accidental deployment
caused by static etc.

6. Connect the special tool SRS air bag adapter

harness (MB991885), which the deployment wires
is attached to, to the seat belt pre-tensioner
connector.

CAUTION

The adapter harness below the wheel should be
loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when the seat
belt pre-tensioner operates could damage the
adapter harness.
7. Pass the thick wires through the hole on the seat

belt pre-tensioner bracket and secure them to the
front (raised part) of the wheel on two place.

8. Pull the seat belt out the outside of the tyre, and

then place one tyre without a wheel inside on top
of the existing tyre.

WARNING

•

Before operation, check carefully to be sure

that no one is nearby.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately
following the operation, so wait at least 30
minutes to allow it to cool before
attempting to handle it. Although not
poisonous, do not inhale gas from seat
belt pre-tensioner operation. See
Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated
Seat Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to
) for post-operation handling instructions.

•

If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to
operate, do not go near the seat belt
pre-tensioner. Contact your distributor.

9. At a location as far away from the air bag module

as possible, and from a shielded position,
disconnect the two connected wires from each
other, and connect them to the two terminals of
the battery (which has been removed from the
vehicle) to operated seat belt pre-tensioner.

10.Discard the operated seat belt pre-tensioner as

specified in Deployed Air Bag Module and Seat
Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ).

DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE AND
OPERATED SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER
DISPOSAL

After deployment and operation, the air bag module
and seat belt pre-tensioner should be disposed of in
the same manner as any other scrap parts, adhering
to local laws and/or legislation. Observe the following
precautions during air bag or seat belt pre-tensioner
disposal:
1. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following

deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it
cool before attempting to handle it.

2. Do not put water or oil on the air bag after

deployment or on the seat belt pre-tensioner after
operation.
