AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-170

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 

P.52B-176

) for 

post-deployment handling instructions.

•

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

9. 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 deploy the air bag.

10.Discard the deployed air bag module as specified 

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

P.52B-176

). 

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE 
<PASSENGER'S (FRONT) 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

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 
front passenger’s (front) air bag module con-
nector short automatically to prevent acci-
dental deployment caused by static etc. Still, 
in consideration of the accidental deploy-
ment, store the air bag module on flat place 
with deployment surface facing up. Also, do 
not put anything on it.

2. Remove the passenger’s (front) air bag module 

from the vehicle (Refer to 

P.52B-145

).

3. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to 

each SRS air bag adapter harness (MB686560) 
and insulate the connections with insulator tape. 
Also, connect the deployment wires in the other 
ends to short, thereby preventing the passenger's 
(front) air bag from accidental deployment caused 
by static etc.

4. Connect the deployment wires to SRS air bag 

adapter harness (MB686560), pass it beneath the 
tyre and wheel assembly, and connect it to the air 
bag module.

CAUTION

• The adapter harness below the wheel should 

be loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when 
the air bag deploys could damage the adapter 
harness.

• During deployment, the connector of SRS air 

bag adapter harness (MB686560) must not be 
between the tyres.

5. Pass the thick wire through the air bag module 

mounting hole, and then secure the air bag 
module to an old tyre with a wheel in it so that the 
pad on the module is facing upwards.

6. Place three old tyres without wheels on top of the 

tyre secured to the air bag module, and secure all 
tyres together with ropes (four locations).

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 

P.52B-176

) 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 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 air bag module as specified 

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

P.52B-176

).

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 

P.52B-152

).

3. After reassembling the front seatback assembly 

incorporated in the side-airbag, remove the 
side-airbag module from the front seatback frame.

4. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to 

each SRS air bag adapter harness (MB686560) 
and insulate the connections with insulator tape. 
Also, connect the deployment wires in the other 
ends to short, thereby preventing the side-airbag 
from accidental deployment caused by static etc.

5. Pass the SRS air bag adapter harness 

(MB686560) connected with deployment wires 
beneath an old tyre and wheel assembly, and 
connect it to the side-airbag module connector.

CAUTION

• The adapter harness below the wheel should 

be loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when 
the air bag deploys could damage the adapter 
harness.

• During deployment, the connector of SRS air 

bag adapter harness (MB686560) must not be 
between the tyres.

6. Connect the thick wire to the side-airbag module 

installation bolt with a used nut, and place the 
side-airbag module on an old tyre and wheel 
assembly so that its deployment side is facing 
upward.   

7. Place three old tyres without wheels on top of the 

tyre secured to the air bag module, and secure all 
tyres together with ropes (four locations).
