4. Remove the connection between the C-307 clock spring 

connector (four-pin) and the harness side connector 
(four-pin, yellow).
NOTE: If the clock spring connector is disconnected from 
the instrument panel wiring harness, both electrodes of the 
clock spring connector will be automatically shorted to pre-
vent unintended deployment of the air bag due to static elec-
tricity, etc.

5. 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 bag from unintentional deploy-
ment caused by static electricity, etc.

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 6 in order to prevent accidental 
deployment caused by static.
6. Touch the vehicle’s body with your bare hands to discharge 

static electricity.

7. Cut the instrument panel wiring harness (four-pin, yellow) 

shown in the figure, while the C-307 clock spring connector 
(four-pin) is disconnected.
NOTE: The disconnection location should be sufficiently 
away from the C-307 harness side connector with consider-
ation to the expansion harness connection location upon 
disconnection.

8. Individually connect a harness to the four disconnected 

harnesses, cover the connection areas with insulation tape, 
and then pull out the expansion harness outside the vehicle.

9. Connect the C-307 harness side connector connected with 

the expansion harness to the C-307 clock spring connector.

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.

10.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-403

) for post-deployment 

handling instructions.

•

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

11.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.

12.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-403

).

.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (when disposing of a 
vehicle) <Air bag module (front passenger's side)>
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-26

).

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 assembly (Refer to GROUP 52A, 

Instrument Panel 

P.52A-3

).

4. Disconnect  the C-110 air bag module (front passenger's 

side) connector (four-pin, yellow) from the harness side 
connector (four-pin, yellow).
NOTE: If the C-110 air bag module connector is discon-
nected, both electrodes of the air bag module connector will 
be automatically shorted to prevent unintended deployment 
of the air bag due to static electricity, etc.

.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (when disposing of a 
vehicle) <Side-airbag 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-26

).

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.

WARNING

The side-airbag modules for both the driver's side 
and passenger's side should be deployed.

3. Remove the connection between the D-24 or D-32 

side-airbag module connector (two-pin, red) and the 
harness side connector (two-pin, red).
NOTE: If the air bag module connector is disconnected from 
the floor wiring harness, both electrodes of the air bag mod-
ule connector will be automatically shorted to prevent unin-
tended deployment of the air bag due to static electricity, etc.

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

longer, to the two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness 
(MB686560), 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 air bag module.

5. Connect the D-24 or D-32 side-airbag module connector 

(two-pin, red) to SRS air bag adapter harness (MB686560) 
and move the deployment wires out of the vehicle.
