1. Place the seatback assembly so that the rear of the assembly is lying on the ground.
2. Connect the special tool MB686560 (which is connected to the deployment harness) to the side air bag module connector.
WARNING:
-
Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that no one is nearby.
-
The inflator will be quite hot immediately following the deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool before attempting to
handle it. Although not poisonous, do not inhale gas from air bag deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures for
post-deployment handling instructions.
-
If the air bag fails to deploy, do not go near the module. Contact the MMSA Tech Line.
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 Airbag 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.
