6. Place three old tires without wheels on top of the tire secured to the air bag module, and secure all tires together with ropes (four locations).
WARNING:
-
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 Disposal Procedures for
post-deployment handling instructions.
-
If the air bag fails to deploy, do not go near the module. Contact the MMSA Tech Line.
7. 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.
8. Discard the deployed air bag module as specified in Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <Passenger's (front) air bag module>
DANGER: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work.
WARNING:
-
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. (Refer to
Battery.)
WARNING: Store the air bag module on a flat surface with the pad cover facing up. Do not place anything on top of it.
2. Remove the air bag module from the vehicle.
3. Connect two wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of special tool MB686560, and cover the connections with insulation tape.
The other ends of the two wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment of the air bag
module.
