SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DISPOSAL - DEPLOYED
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling a safety
belt retractor/pretensioner assembly. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
1. Dispose of the deployed safety belt pretensioner in the same manner as any other part to be scrapped.
Undeployed, Inoperative
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER - UNDEPLOYED, INOPERATIVE
WARNING: Carry a live safety belt retractor/pretensioner assembly so as to keep fingers and clothing away from moveable parts. This will
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.

retractor/pretensioners must be treated the same as any inoperative live safety belt retractor/pretensioner being returned.

Remote Deployment
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag
module or safety belt retractor/pretensioner assembly. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover or deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce
the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment.
WARNING: Remote deployment is to be performed outdoors with all personnel at least 6.1 meters (20 feet) away to ensure personal safety.
Due to the loud report which occurs when the air bag is deployed, hearing protection is required.
WARNING: Do not place the driver or passenger air bag module with the trim cover or deployment door facing down, as the forces of the
deploying air bag could cause it to ricochet and cause personal injury.
1. Remove the safety belt pretensioner from the vehicle. For additional information, see FRONT SEAT RETRACTOR (2 - DOOR) REMOVAL /
INSTALLATION, or FRONT SEAT RETRACTOR (4-DOOR) REMOVAL / INSTALLATION.
2. Cut and strip the wires near the electrical connector.
