6. Install a nut to the bolt behind the driver’s air bag

module and tie thick wire there for securing.

7. Route the deployment wires connected to the

driver’s air bag module beneath an old tyre and
wheel assembly. Then, using the wire tied to the
bolt, secure the driver’s air bag module to the tyre
and wheel assembly with the deployment surface
facing up.

8. Place three old tyres without wheels on the tyre

secured with the driver’s air bag module.

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.

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 deploy the air bag.

10.Discard the deployed air bag module as specified

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

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
<AIR BAG MODULE (FRONT
PASSENGER'S SIDE)>

WARNING

•

Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.

•

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
front passenger’s 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 air bag module from the vehicle

(Refer to

P.52B-225

).

3. Prepare two wires longer than 6 meters for

deployment and connect the terminals in one end
to short-circuit. This is to prevent accidental
deployment caused by static etc.

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 4 in order to prevent
accidental deployment caused by static.
4. Touch the vehicle’s body with your bare hands to

discharge static electricity.

CAUTION

In case of the dual inflator type's air bag module,
be sure to deploy the both two air bags at the
same time. Because another air bag may be
deployed suddenly when deploying the one air
bag.
5. Using pliers, cut the passenger’s air bag module

connector from the harnesses. Connect the
deployment wires to each harness that has been
cut and insulate the connections with plastic tape.

6. Pass the thick wire through the air bag module

mounting hole, and then secure the air bag
module to an old tyre with a wheel in it so that the
pad on the module is facing upwards.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Discard the deployed air bag module as specified

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

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE <SIDE
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
side 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 front seat assembly with side air bag

module from the vehicle (Refer to

P.52B-231

).

3. Remove the side air bag module from the front

seat assembly incorporated in the side air bag.

4. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to

each SRS air bag adapter harness (MB686560)
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.

5. Pass the SRS air bag adapter harness

(MB686560) connected with deployment wires
beneath an old tyre and wheel assembly, and
connect it to the side air bag module connector.

CAUTION

• The adapter harness below the wheel should

be loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when
the air bag deploys could damage the adapter
harness.

• During deployment, the connector of SRS air

bag adapter harness (MB686560) must not be
between the tyres.

6. Connect the thick wire to the side air bag module

installation bolt with a used nut, and place the side
air bag module on an old tyre and wheel assembly
so that its deployment side is facing upward.

7. 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).
