AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-199

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <Air bag 
module (front passenger's side)>

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.37A-3

).

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 air bag module connector 
short automatically 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 surface facing up. Also, do not 
put anything on it.

2. Remove the air bag module from the vehicle 

(Refer to 

P.52B-179

).

3. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to 

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

4. Connect the deployment wires to special tool 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 special 
tool 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).

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-200

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 
poisonous, do not inhale gas from air bag 
deployment. See Deployed Air Bag 
Module and Operated Seat Belt 
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to 

P.52B-203

) 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-203

). 

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE <Side 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

work (Refer to 

P.37A-3

).

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 air bag module connector short 
automatically 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 surface facing up. Also, do not 
put anything on it. 

2. Remove the front seatback assembly with side air 

bag module from the vehicle (Refer to 

P.52B-179

).

3. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to 

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness 
(MB686560) and insulate the connections with 
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <Seat 
belt pre-tensioner>

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.37A-3

).

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery 

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

WARNING

Store the operated seat belt pre-tensioner 
the correct way up with its operation surface 
upper most on a flat surface. Do not place 
anything on top of them.

2. Remove the seat belt pre-tensioner from the 

vehicle (Refer to 

P.52B-188

).

3. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking 

button of the harness-side connector (2-pin, 
black) by with drawing it toward you in two stages.

4. Disconnect the D-29 or D-43 harness side

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to 

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness 
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with 
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires 
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the 
passenger's air bag from accidental deployment

6. Connect the special tool SRS air bag adapter 

harness (MB991885), which the deployment wires 
is attached to, to the seat belt pre-tensioner 
connector.

CAUTION

The adapter harness below the wheel should be 
loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when the seat 
belt pre-tensioner operates could damage the 
adapter harness.
7. Pass the thick wires through the hole on the seat 

belt pre-tensioner bracket and secure them to the 
front (raised part) of the wheel on two place.

8. Pull the seat belt out the outside of the tyre, and 

then place one tyre without a wheel inside on top 
of the existing tyre.

WARNING

•

Before operation, check carefully to be sure 

that no one is nearby.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately 
following the operation, so wait at least 30 
minutes to allow it to cool before 
attempting to handle it. Although not 
poisonous, do not inhale gas from seat 
belt pre-tensioner operation. See 
Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated 
Seat Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to 

P.52B-203

) for post-operation handling 

instructions.

•

operate, do not go near the seat belt 
pre-tensioner. 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 operated seat belt pre-tensioner.

10.Discard the operated seat belt pre-tensioner as 

specified in Deployed Air Bag Module and Seat 
Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to 

P.52B-203
