1. Take special tool MB628919 or MR203491 that is connected to the wires, pass it beneath an old tire wheel assembly, and connect it to the air
bag module.
CAUTION: The adapter harness below the wheel should be loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when the air bag deploys could damage the
adapter harness.
2. Pass the thick wire through the air bag module mounting hole, and then secure the air bag module to an old tire with a wheel in it so that the
pad on the module is facing upwards.
3. Place three old tires without wheels on top of the tire secured to the air bag module.
5. 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.
6. After deployment, dispose of the air bag module according to the Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.
Passenger Air Bag Module
Before disposing of an air bag or a vehicle equipped with an air bag, follow the procedures below to deploy the air bag.
Required Special Tools:
MB628919 or MR203491: SRS Air Bag Adapter Harness B

WARNING:
1. It 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.
2. Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the air bag is deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible.
3. Since there is loud noise when the air bags are deployed, avoid residential areas whenever possible. It anyone is nearby, give warning of
the impending noise.
4. Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel performing these procedures or by people in the immediate area.
WARNING:
1. Deploy the air bag 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. If there is a slight breeze, place the air bag module downwind from the
battery.
DANGER: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work.
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
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.
