1. Connect the deployment wires to special tool MB686560, pass it beneath the tire and wheel assembly, and connect it to the air bag module.
WARNING:
-
Leave some space below the wheel for the deployment wires. If there is no space, the reaction of the air bag deployment could
result in damage of the adaptor harness.
-
During deployment, the connector of special tool MB686560 must not be between the tires.
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, and secure all tires together with ropes (four locations).
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 or operation, remove the side air bag module from the seatback and then dispose it according to the Deployed Air Bag Module
Disposal Procedures.
Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal
After deployment, the air bag module should be disposed of in the same manner as any other scrap parts, adhering to local laws and/or legislation.
Observe the following precautions during air bag disposal:
1. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it cool before attempting to handle it.
2. Do not put water or oil on the air bag after deployment.
WARNING: If after following these precautions, any material does get into the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the affected area
with a large amount of clean water. If any irritation develops, seek medical attention.
3. There may be material on the deployed air bag module, that could irritate the eye and/or skin. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling a
deployed air bag module.
4. Tightly seal the air bag module in a strong plastic bag for disposal.
5. Be sure to always wash your hands after completing this operation.
