3. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of special tool MB628919 or MR203491 (driver's side) or special
tool MB686560 <front passenger's side and seat belt pre-tensioner>, 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 operation
seat belt pre-tensioner.
4. Prepare the air bag modules and seat belt pre-tensioner as follows:
1. Air bag module (driver's side)
a. Take special tool MB628919 or MR203491 that is connected to the deployment 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.
b. 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.
c. Place three old tires without wheels on top of the tire secured to the air bag module.
