6. Buckle the seat belt, then pull out about two inches of slack, make a loop with it, and hold the loop in place with a clip as shown.
7. Repeat step 6 on the other front belt.
8. Connect a 12 Volt battery to the tool:
-
If the green light on the tool comes on, an igniter circuit is defective. Go to Damaged Airbag, Side Airbag or Seat Belt Tensioner Special
Procedure.
-
If the red light on the tool comes on, the system is ready.
9. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbags and side airbags should deploy (deployment is both highly audible and visible - a loud noise and
rapid inflation of the bags, followed by slow deflation).
-
The seat belt tensioners should take up the slack (pop the clips off the belts), and lock the belts in retracted positions.
-
If the airbags and side airbags are deployed, the tensioners are triggered, and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this
procedure.
-
If an airbag or a side airbag doesn't deploy or a tensioner isn't triggered, yet the green light comes on, an igniter is defective. Go to Damaged
Airbag or Pretensioner Special Procedure.
WARNING: During airbag deployment and pretensioner activation the airbag and tensioner assemblies can become hot enough to burn
you. Wait thirty minutes after activation before touching them.
10. Dispose of all the airbags and tensioners completely. No part of them can be reused.
