AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-159

CAUTION

• Make sure that no one is present near the air 

bag module before deploying the air bag.

• Immediately after the air bag deployment, the 

inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before han-
dling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more 
to cool.

• If the air bag module does not deploy, consult 

with your distributor.

9. Disconnect the deployment wire connection at a 

place as far as possible from the air bag module. 
Then, connect the wires to the removed vehicle 
battery to deploy the air bag module.

10.Discard the deployed air bag module according to 

the disposal procedures (Refer to 

P.52B-163

      ).

PASSENGER'S (FRONT) AIR BAG 
MODULE DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE 
VEHICLE

CAUTION

• Deploy the air bag in the wide open, flat place 

with a distance of 6 m or more from obstacles 
and people.

• When deploying the air bag in the open 

space, do not deploy when the strong wind is 
blowing. Even with a slight breeze, ignite at 
the windward of the air bag module.

CAUTION

Before starting the work, wait for 60 seconds or 
more after the disconnection of the battery cable. 
(Refer to the item 5 

P.52B-7

 of Service Precau-

tions.)

1. Disconnect the (

−) and (+) terminals of battery 

cable, and then remove the battery from the 
vehicle.

CAUTION

When the connector is disconnected, the two 
pins of air bag module are automatically shorted 
to prevent the unintentional deployment caused 
by the static or others. However, in preparation 
for the accidental deployment, store the air bag 
module on a flat place with the deployment sur-
face facing upward. Also, do not put anything on 
it.

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

from the vehicle (Refer to 

P.52B-136

).

3. Connect the deployment wires of 6 m or more to 

each of the two wiring harnesses of special tool 
adapter harness (MB991885), and cover the 
connection areas with insulation tape. Keep the 
other ends of deployment wires connected to 
each other (shorted).

NOTE: This prevents the unintentional activation 
of inflator caused by the static or others.

4. Connect the adapter harness to the passenger's 

(front) air bag module.

5. Pass a thick wire through the hole of air bag 

module bracket. Then, with the air bag module 
deployment surface facing upward, fix the module 
to the old tyre with wheel.

6. Place three old tyres without wheel onto the tyre 

to which the air bag module is fixed. Then, tie and 
fix all the tyres with rope (4 positions).

NOTE: The passenger's (front) air bag has a 
larger deployment volume than the driver's air 
bag. Therefore, it is necessary to tie the tyres with 
rope.

CAUTION

• Make sure that no one is present near the air 

bag module before deploying the air bag.

• Immediately after the air bag deployment, the 

inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before han-
dling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more 
to cool.

• If the air bag module does not deploy, consult 

with your distributor.

7. Disconnect the deployment wire connection at a 

place as far as possible from the air bag module. 
Then, connect the wires to the removed vehicle 
battery to deploy the air bag module.

8. Discard the deployed air bag module according to 

the disposal procedures (Refer to 

P.52B-163

     ).

SIDE-AIRBAG MODULE DEPLOYMENT 
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

CAUTION

• Deploy the air bag in the wide open, flat place 

with a distance of 6 m or more from obstacles 
and people.

• When deploying the air bag in the open 

space, do not deploy when the strong wind is 
blowing. Even with a slight breeze, ignite at 
the windward of the air bag module.

CAUTION

Before starting the work, wait for 60 seconds or 
more after the disconnection of the battery cable. 
(Refer to the item 5 

P.52B-7

 of Service Precau-

tions.)

1. Disconnect the (

−) and (+) terminals of battery 

cable, and then remove the battery from the 
vehicle.

2. Remove the front seat assembly incorporated in 

side-airbag from the vehicle (GROUP 52A 

− Front 

Seat Assembly ).

CAUTION

When the connector is disconnected, the two 
pins of side-airbag module are automatically 
shorted to prevent the unintentional deployment 
caused by the static or others. However, in prepa-
ration for the accidental deployment, store the air 
bag module on a flat place with the deployment 
surface facing upward. Also, do not put anything 
on it.

3. Remove the side-airbag module from the front 

seat assembly incorporated in the side-airbag 
(Refer to 

P.52B-142

).

4. 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.

CURTAIN AIR BAG INFLATOR 
ACTIVATION OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

CAUTION

• Activate the inflator in the wide open, flat 

place with a distance of 6 m or more from 
obstacles and people.

• When deploying in the open space, do not 

deploy when the strong wind is blowing. Even 
with a slight breeze, ignite at the windward of 
the inflator.

CAUTION

Before starting the work, wait for 60 seconds or 
more after the disconnection of the battery cable. 
(Refer to the item 5

CAUTION

When the connector is disconnected, the two 
pins of inflator are automatically shorted to pre-
vent the unintentional activation caused by the 
static or others. However, in preparation for the 
accidental activation, store the air bag module on 
a flat place with the activation surface facing 
upward. Also, do not put anything on it.

2. Remove the headlining (Refer to GROUP 52A -
