Deployment wires

｠

Before deployment, 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-371)  for  post-deployment
handling instructions.

｠

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

9.

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.

10.

Discard  the  deployed  air  bag  module  as  specified  in
Deployed  Air  Bag  Module  and  Operated  Seat  Belt  Pre-
tensioner Disposal (Refer to).

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <CURTAIN AIR BAG
MODULE>

Wait  at  least  60  seconds  after  disconnecting  the  battery
cables before doing any further work (Refer to P.52B-28).

｠

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead  and  lead  compounds.  WASH  HANDS  AFTER
HANDLING.

｠

Deploy the air bag in a wide, flat area at least 6 meters (20
feet) away from obstacles and other people.

｠

Do  not  perform  deployment  outside  if  a  strong  wind  is
blowing.  If  there  is  a  slight  breeze,  place  the  air  bag
module downwind from the battery.

1.

Disconnect  the  negative  (-)  and  positive  (+)  battery  cables
from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from
the vehicle.

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 curtain air bag module from the vehicle (Refer
to P.52B-341).

NOTE: 

This prevents the air bags from being

unintentionally deployed because of the static and
others.
