WARNING

•

Before deploying the air bag in this manner, first
check to be sure that there is no one in or near the
vehicle. Wear safety glasses.

•

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
the air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag
Module and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Dis-
posal (Refer to

P.52B-481

) for post-deployment

handling instructions.

•

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

10.At a location as far away from the vehicle as possible,

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.After deployment, dispose of the front seatback assembly

(air bag module) according to the Deployed Air Bag Module
and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to

P.52B-481

).

.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (WHEN
DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE) <CURTAIN AIR BAG

4. Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button

of curtain air bag harness side connector. After releasing the
lock, disconnect the connector.
NOTE: If the curtain air bag module connector is discon-
nected from the floor wiring harness side connector, both
electrodes of the curtain air bag module connector will be
automatically shorted to prevent unintended deployment of
the curtain air bag module due to static electricity, etc.

5. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB991885, and cover
the connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the
deployment wires should be connected to each other
(short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment
of the curtain air bag module.

6. Connect the special tool MB991885 to the inflator, and then

pull out the deployment wire to outside the vehicle.

WARNING

If the glass is scratched, air bag deployment could
cause it to crack and fly out of the vehicle, so always
put a cover over the vehicle.

7. To suppress the deployment sound as much as possible,

completely close all door windows, close the doors and put
the cover on the vehicle.
