AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-299

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 poi-
sonous, do not inhale gas from air bag
deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Mod-
ule 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.

7. At a location as far away from the passenger's

(front) 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.

8. Discard the deployed passenger's (front) air bag

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

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE <SIDE-
AIRBAG 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-5

).

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-airbag module connector short auto-
matically 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 sur-
face facing up. Also, do not put anything on
it.

2. Remove the front seatback assembly with side-

airbag module from the vehicle (Refer to 52A,
Front Seat Assembly ).

Deployment wires

6 m or longer

3. Prepare two deployment wires of 6 m or more,

and keep the terminal at one end connected to
that of the other wire (shorted).
NOTE: This prevents the air bags from uninten-
tional deployment caused by static.

CAUTION

The following procedures are intended to prevent
the unintentional deployment caused by the
static. Therefore, make sure to perform the pro-
cedures.
4. Touch the vehicle body with bare hands to release

the charged static.

6. Cut off the side-airbag module connector from the

wiring harness with nippers. Individually connect a
harness on the two harnesses disconnected,
cover the connection areas with insulation tape.

7. Disconnect the shorted part of the deployment

wiring harness at a place as far as possible from
the front seatback assembly. Then, connect the
wires to the removed vehicle battery to perform
deployment.

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 <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

WARNING

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the
curtain air bag module connector short auto-
matically 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 sur-
face facing up. Also, do not put anything on
it.

2. Remove the curtain air bag module (Refer to

matically to prevent accidental deployment
caused by static etc. Still, in consideration of
the accidental deployment, store the seat
belt pre-tensioner on flat place with deploy-
ment surface facing up. Also, do not put any-
thing on it.

2. Remove the seat belt pre-tensioner from the

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.
5. 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.
