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.

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.
⦆
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 Disposal (Refer to P.52B-371) for post-
operation handling instructions.
⦆
If the air bag module fails to deploy, do not go near the air
bag module.
8.
At a location as far away from the vehicle as possible,
disconnect the two connected wires from each the, 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).
