12. Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to deploy / activate air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner.
NOTE:
-
When air bag (inflator) module deploys and seat belt pretensioner activates, rapid gas expansion will create substantial report. Wear suitable
ear protection. Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to deploy air bag (inflator) module or activate seat belt pretensioner and
suitable ear protection should be worn.
-
When driver air bag (inflator) module deploys, driver air bag (inflator) module may jump about 30 cm (1 ft) vertically. This is normal reaction
to force of rapid gas expansion inside of drive air bag (inflator) module.
-
After air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, surface of air bag (inflator) may contain powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of
cornstarch (used to lubricate bag (inflator) as it inflates) and by-products of chemical reaction.
WARNING:
-
Do not place deployed air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt pretensioner near any flammable objects.
-
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt pretensioner.
-
Wait for about 30 minutes before touching any metal surface of air bag (inflater) module or seat belt pretensioner module.
Disregarding these precautions may cause fire or personal injury. Failure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal injury.
13. Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment harness.
14. Connect deployment harness to 12 volts vehicle battery (2). This will immediately deploy or activate air bag (inflator) module or seat belt
pretensioner.
15. Disconnect deployment harness from 12 volts vehicle battery (2) and short two deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana
plug into the other.
16. In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner did not deploy / activate after following these procedures, proceed
immediately with Step 23) through 26). If air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner did deploy or activate, proceed with Steps 18) through
22).
17. Put on pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from possible irritation and heat when handling deployed air bag (inflator) module or activated
seat belt pretensioner.
18. Disconnect adapter cable (special tool) from air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner as soon as possible. This will prevent adapter cable
(special tool) from damage due to possible contact with hot air bag (inflator) module or hot seat belt pretensioner.
19. Check adapter cable connector as follows. Adapter cable connector (special tool) is designed to be reused. However it should be inspected for
damage after deployment and replaced if necessary.
20. Dispose of deployed air bag (inflator) module (1) or activated seat belt pretensioner (2) through normal refuse channels after it has cooled for at
least 30 minutes and tightly seal air bag (inflator) module (1) or seat belt pretensioner (2) in strong vinyl bag. Refer to Deployed Air Bag
(Inflator) Module and Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal:Except Advanced Air Bag in detail.
21. Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.
NOTE: Remaining steps are to be followed in the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module did not deploy or seat belt pretensioner did not
activate.
22. Ensure that deployment harness has been disconnected from 12 volts vehicle battery and that its two banana plugs have been shorted together by
fully seating one banana plug into the other.
23. Disconnect deployment harness and adapter cable from air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner.
