Deployed Inside The Vehicle
10. At a location as far away from the vehicle as possible, disconnect the two connected wires from each other, and connect them to the two terminals
of the battery (removed from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.
CAUTION:
1. Before deploying the air bag in this manner, first check to be sure that there is no one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety goggles, suitable ear
protection.
2. 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.
3. If the air bag module fails to deploy when the procedures above are followed, do not go near the module. Contact the MMSA Tech. Line.
11. Dispose of the air bag module after deployment according to the Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
CAUTION:
1. Should be carried out in a wide, flat area at least six meters (20 feet) away from obstacles and other people.
2. Do not perform deployment outside, if a strong wind is blowing, and if there is even a slight breeze, the air bag module should be placed and
deployed downwind from the battery.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle
