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.

Deployment wires
Vehicle battery
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 ).

Connection
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.
