20. Bend twisted connection made in the previous step flat and wrap tightly with electrical tape to insulate and secure.
21. Twist together, bend and tape the remaining connector wire lead to the remaining deployment wire.
22. Connect the deployment harness to the passenger air bag assembly, yellow 2 - pin connector located behind the glove box assembly. Route
deployment harness out the passenger side of the vehicle.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL
THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A
POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT. CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE FINAL
STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER
LISTED COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
23. Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area surrounding the vehicle are clear of all people and loose or flammable objects.
24. Stretch the driver and passenger deployment harness to their full length.
25. Completely cover windshield area and front door window openings with a drop cloth, blanket or similar item. This reduces the possibility of injury
due to possible fragmentation of the vehicle's glass or interior.
26. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air bags. The deployment will be accompanied by a substantial noise which
may startle the uninformed.
27. Separate the two ends of the driver deployment harness wires.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT WIRES SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND DISCONNECTED FROM ANY POWER SOURCE UNTIL
THE AIRBAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED OR ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WILL IMMEDIATELY OCCUR. THIS MAY
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL.
CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT WIRES TO THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE FINAL STEP IN THE
AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend
to deploy the air bags.
28. Connect the driver deployment harness wires to a power source to immediately deploy the driver air bag assembly. Recommended application: 12
volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.
29. Separate the two ends of the passenger deployment harness wires.

30. Connect the passenger deployment harness wires to a power source to immediately deploy the passenger air bag assembly. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested. (Driver air bag assembly) Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety
gasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly. After the air bag assembly
has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical
reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium
Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate. (Passenger air bag assembly)
Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag
assembly.
After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of
cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is
