WARNING

•

Before operation, 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-481

) for post-operation handling

instructions.

•

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

8. 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.

9. Discard the deployed air bag module as specified in

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
contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS
AFTER HANDLING.

•

Operate the seat belt pre-tensioner in a wide, flat
area at least 6 meters (20 feet) away from obsta-
cles and other people.

•

Do not perform operation outside if a strong wind
is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place the seat
belt pre-tensioner downwind from the battery.

1. Disconnect the negative (

−) and positive (+) battery cables

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

WARNING

Store the seat belt pre-tensioner on a flat surface with
its operation surface facing up. Do not place anything
on top of them.

2. Remove the seat belt pre-tensioner from the vehicle (Refer

P.52B-457

3. 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 operation of
the seat belt pre-tensioner.
NOTE: This prevents the unintentional activation of inflator
caused by the static or others.

4. Connect the special tool 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.
6. 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 in two places.
