Airbag and pre-tensioner deployment
WARNING: During deployment parts of the airbag module become hot enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after deployment before touching
the airbag module.
Deployment procedures and precautions as detailed in this information should be strictly adhered to. Only personnel who have undergone the appropriate
training should undertake deployment of airbag and pre-tensioner modules. The following precautions must be complied with:
^
Only use deployment equipment approved for the intended purpose.
^
Deployment of airbag / pre-tensioner modules must be performed in a well ventilated area which has been designated for the purpose.
^
Ensure airbag / pre-tensioner modules are not damaged or ruptured before attempting to deploy.
^
Where local legislation exists, notify the relevant authorities of intention to deploy airbag and pretensioner units.
^
When deploying airbag pre-tensioner units, ensure that all personnel are at least 15 meters (45 feet) away from the deployment zone.
^
Ensure deployment tool is connected correctly, in compliance with the instructions detailed in the SRS section of this information. In particular,
ensure deployment tool is NOT connected to battery supply before connecting to airbag module connector.
^
When deploying seat belt pre-tensioners, ensure pre-tensioner unit is secured correctly to the seat.
^
When removing deployed airbag modules and pre-tensioner units, wear protective clothing. Use gloves and seal deployed units in a plastic bag.
^
Following deployment of any component of the SRS system within the vehicle, all SRS components must be replaced. DO NOT re-use or salvage
any parts of the SRS system.
^
Do not lean over an airbag module when connecting deployment equipment.
If a vehicle is to be scrapped, undeployed airbag modules and pre-tensioner units must be manually deployed. In this case airbags can be deployed in the
vehicle. Before deployment, ensure the airbag module is secure within its correct mounting position. Deployment of the driver's airbag in the vehicle may
damage the steering wheel; if the vehicle is not being scrapped, deploy the module outside of the vehicle.
