52B-467

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.

10.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.

11.After deployment, dispose of the front seatback assembly 

(air bag module) according to the Deployed Air Bag Module 
and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to 

P.52B-481

).

.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (WHEN 
DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE) <CURTAIN 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 headlining (Refer to GROUP 52A, 

HEADLINING 

P.52A-15

).

4. Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button 

of curtain air bag harness side connector. After releasing the 
lock, disconnect the connector.
NOTE: If the curtain air bag module connector is discon-
nected from the floor wiring harness side connector, both 
electrodes of the curtain air bag module connector will be 
automatically shorted to prevent unintended deployment of 
the curtain air bag module due to static electricity, etc.

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

longer, to the two leads of special tool MB991885, 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 curtain air bag module.

6. Connect the special tool MB991885 to the inflator, and then 

pull out the deployment wire to outside the vehicle.

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.

7. To suppress the deployment sound as much as possible, 

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