6. Connect the special tool MB992102 to the driver's air bag 

module, and then pull out the deployment wire to outside the 
vehicle.

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.

7. 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-481

) for post-deployment 

handling instructions.

•

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

8. 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.

9. 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-481

).

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (WHEN 
DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE) <PASSENGER'S 
(FRONT) AIR BAG 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-25

).

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 (Refer to GROUP 52A, Instrument 

Panel 

P.52A-2

).

4. Slide the outer housing of passenger’s (front) air bag 

module connector in the arrow direction shown, and 
disconnect the connector.
NOTE: When the passenger's (front) air bag module con-
nector is disconnected from the instrument panel wiring har-
ness side connector, the four pins of inflator connector are 
automatically shorted. This prevents the unintentional 
deployment of front passenger's air bags caused by the 
static or others.

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

longer, to the two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness 
(MB9921020), and cover the connections with insulator 
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.
NOTE: This prevents the unintentional deployment of pas-
senger's (front) air bags caused by the static or others.

6. Connect the special tool MB992102 to the passenger's 

(front) air bag module, and then pull out the deployment wire 
to outside the vehicle.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (WHEN 
DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE) <SIDE-AIR BAG 
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-25

).

WARNING

tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER

3. Disconnect the connections of the side-air bag module 

connector (two-pin: yellow) and the floor harness side 
connector (two-pin: yellow).

CAUTION

Make sure to deploy both driver's and front passenger's 
side air bags.

NOTE: When the side-air bag module connector is discon-
nected from the floor wiring harness side connector, the two 
pins of side air bag module connector are automatically 
shorted. This prevents the unintentional deployment of 
side-air bags caused by the static or others.

4. 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 bags from unintentional deploy-
ment caused by static electricity, etc.

CAUTION

Never fail to do Step 5 in order to prevent accidental 
deployment caused by static.
5. Touch the vehicle body with bare hands to release the 

charged static.

6. With the side-air bag module connector disconnected, cut 

the floor harness using a nipper or similar tools.

7. Connect the deployment wire to each of two cut wiring 

harnesses. After covering the connection areas with 
insulation tape, pull out the deployment wire to outside the 
vehicle.

8. Connect the floor harness, to which the deployment wire is 

connected, to the side-air bag module connector.

WARNING

If the glass is scratched, air bag deployment could 
cause it to crack and fly out of the vehicle, so always 
put a cover over the vehicle.

9. To suppress the operation sound as much as possible 

completely close all door windows, close the doors and put 
the cover on the vehicle.
