6. Connect the special tool MB992102 to the driver's air bag

module, and then pull out the deployment wire to outside the
vehicle.

WARNING

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

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

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

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.

8. 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.

9. After deployment, dispose of the 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) <PASSENGER'S
(FRONT) AIR BAG MODULE >

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

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

P.52B-25

).

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.

2. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables

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

3. Remove the glove box (Refer to GROUP 52A, Instrument

Panel

P.52A-2

).

4. Slide the outer housing of passenger’s (front) air bag

module connector in the arrow direction shown, and
disconnect the connector.
NOTE: When the passenger's (front) air bag module con-
nector is disconnected from the instrument panel wiring har-
ness side connector, the four pins of inflator connector are
automatically shorted. This prevents the unintentional
deployment of front passenger's air bags caused by the
static or others.

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

longer, to the two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB9921020), and cover the connections with insulator
tape. The other ends of the deployment wires should be
connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden
unexpected deployment of the air bag module.
NOTE: This prevents the unintentional deployment of pas-
senger's (front) air bags caused by the static or others.

6. Connect the special tool MB992102 to the passenger's

(front) air bag module, 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 operation sound as much as possible,

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

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.

8. 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.

9. After deployment, dispose of the 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) <SIDE-AIR BAG
MODULE>

1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.

DANGER

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

P.52B-25

).

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.

2. Disconnect the (

−) and (+) terminals of battery cable, and

then remove the battery from the vehicle.

3. Disconnect the connections of the side-air bag module

connector (two-pin: yellow) and the floor harness side
connector (two-pin: yellow).

CAUTION

Make sure to deploy both driver's and front passenger's
side air bags.

NOTE: When the side-air bag module connector is discon-
nected from the floor wiring harness side connector, the two
pins of side air bag module connector are automatically
shorted. This prevents the unintentional deployment of
side-air bags caused by the static or others.

4. Obtain two suitable wires, which are 6 meters (20 feet) or

longer, as deployment wires. Then connect the wires at one
end to short.
NOTE: This prevents the air bags from unintentional deploy-
ment caused by static electricity, etc.

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 5 in order to prevent accidental
deployment caused by static.
5. Touch the vehicle body with bare hands to release the

charged static.

6. With the side-air bag module connector disconnected, cut

the floor harness using a nipper or similar tools.

7. Connect the deployment wire to each of two cut wiring

harnesses. After covering the connection areas with
insulation tape, pull out the deployment wire to outside the
vehicle.

8. Connect the floor harness, to which the deployment wire is

connected, to the side-air bag module connector.

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.

9. To suppress the operation sound as much as possible

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