DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER>

DANGER

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

P.52B-18

).

WARNING

•

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

•

Operate the seat belt pre-tensioner in a wide, flat
area at least 6 meters (20 feet) away from obsta-
cles and other people.

•

Do not perform operation outside if a strong wind
is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place the seat
belt pre-tensioner downwind from the battery.

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-229

).

3. Connect two wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the

two leads of special tool MB686560, and cover the
connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the two
wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to
prevent sudden unexpected operation of the seat belt
pre-tensioner.

4. Connect special tool MB686560, 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.
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.

6. Pull the seat belt out the outside of the tire, and then place

one tire without a wheel inside on top of the existing tire.

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 Dis-
posal (Refer to

P.52B-248

) for post-operation han-

dling instructions.

•

If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to operate, do
not go near the seat belt pre-tensioner. Contact the
MMNA Tech Line.

7. 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.

8. Discard the operated seat belt pre-tensioner as specified in

Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt
pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to

P.52B-248

).

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 legisla-
tion. 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.

WARNING

If after following these precautions, any material does
get into the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the
affected area with a large amount of clean water. If
any irritation develops, seek medical attention.

3. There may be material on the deployed air bag module or

the operated seat belt pre-tensioner, that could irritate the
eye and/or skin. Wear gloves and safety glasses when
handling a deployed air bag module or the operated seat
belt pre-tensioner.
