-
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 the air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures for
post-deployment handling instructions.
-
If the air bag module fails to deploy, do not go near the module. Contact the MMSA Tech Line.
7. 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 (which has been removed from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.
8. After deployment, dispose of the air bag module according to the Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
Deployment Outside the Vehicle
AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Before disposing of an air bag or a vehicle equipped with an air bag, follow the procedures below to deploy the air bag.
UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL
Required Special Tools:
MB628919 or MR203491: SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness C
MB686560: SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness B
MR372530: SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness A
WARNING:
-
If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise disposed of, deploy the air bags inside the vehicle. If the vehicle will continue to be used and
only the air bag modules are to be disposed of, deploy the air bags outside the vehicle.
-
Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the air bag is deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible.
-
Since there is loud noise when the air bags are deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of
the impending noise.
-
Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel performing these procedures or by people in the immediate area.
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE <Driver's 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.
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 deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of special tool MB628919 or MR203491, and cover the
connections with insulation tape. The other ends of the deployment wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden
unexpected deployment of the air bag module.
