After the air bag has been deployed or the seat belt pre-tensioner has been triggered, the inflator is very hot. So wait for at least thirty minutes
before the inflator is handled. See Deployed Air Bag Module and Seat Belt pre-tensioner Disposal Procedures for post-deployment handling
instructions.

Deployment Outside the Vehicle
Before disposing of a vehicle which is equipped with air bags or seat belts with pre-tensioner, or when disposing of the air bags or seat belt pre-tensioner
themselves, the following procedures must be used to deploy the air bags or operate the seat belt pre-tensioner before disposal.
Required Special Tools:
MB628919 or MR203491: SRS Air bag adapter harness B
MB686560: SRS air bag adapter harness A
WARNING:
-
If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise disposed of, deploy the air bags and operate the seat belt pre-tensioner inside the vehicle. If
the vehicle will continue to be used and only the air bag modules and seat belt pre-tensioner are to be disposed of, deploy the air bags and
operate the seat belt pre-tensioner outside the vehicle.
-
Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the air bag is deployed and the seat belt pre-tensioner is operated, avoid residential
areas whenever possible.
-
Since there is loud noise when the air bags are deployed and when the seat belt pre-tensioner are operated, avoid residential areas
whenever possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of the impending noise.
-
Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel performing these procedures or by people in the immediate area.
DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
WARNING:
-
Deploy the air bag or operate the seat belt pre-tensioner in a wide, flat area at least 6 m (20 feet) away from obstacles and other people.
-
Do not perform deployment or operation outside if a strong wind is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place the air bag module or seat
belt pre-tensioner downwind from the battery.
DANGER: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
WARNING: Store the deployed air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner the correct way up with its padded surface or its operation
surface uppermost on a flat surface. Do not place anything on top of them.
2. Remove the air bag module and seat belt with pre-tensioner from the vehicle.
