3. To deploy the air bag module (front passenger's side):
1. Loosen the stopper to remove the glove box.
2. Remove the connection between the air bag module (front passenger's side) connector (red 2-pin) and the body wiring harness connector.
4. Connect two wires, each six 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.
5. Connect the clock spring or air bag module (front passenger's side) 2-pin connector (red) to special tool MB686560 and move the deployment
wires out of the vehicle.
WARNING: If the glass is scratched, air bag deployment could cause it to crack and fly out of the vehicle, so always put a cover over the
vehicle.
6. To suppress the operation sound as much as possible, completely close all door windows, close the door and put the cover on the vehicle.
WARNING:
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 glasses.
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 the air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures
for post-deployment handling instructions.
3. If the air bag module fails to deploy do not go near the module. Contact the MMSA Tech Line.
