XL-7 4WD V6-2.7L (2003)
NOTE:
-
When the air bag deploys and the pretensioner activates, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial report. Wear suitable ear protection.
Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air bag (inflator) module or activate the seat belt pretensioner and suitable
ear protection should be worn.
-
When the driver air bag deploys and the pretensioner activates, driver air bag (inflator) module and pretensioner (retractor assembly) may
jump about 30 cm (1 ft) vertically. This is a normal reaction of them to the force of the rapid gas expansion inside the air bag and pretensioner.
-
After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder consists primarily
of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical reaction.
WARNING:
-
After deployment/activation, the metal surfaces of the air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner will be very hot. Do not
touch the metal areas of them for about 30 minutes after deployment/activation.
-
Do not place the deployed air bag (inflator) module and the 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.
-
If the deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat belt pretensioner must be moved before it is cool, wear gloves and
handle it by using nonmetal material such as the air bag, webbing and vinyl trim.
Failure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal injury.
12. Separate (1) the two banana plugs on the deployment harness.
13. Connect the deployment harness to the power source (12 V vehicle battery) (2) to immediately deploy/activate the air bag or seat belt pretensioner.
14. Disconnect the deployment harness from power source (12 V vehicle battery) (2) and short (3) the two deployment harness leads together by fully
seating one banana plug into the other.
15. In the unlikely event that the air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioner did not deploy/activate after the following these procedures,
proceed immediately with Steps 20) through 23). If the air bag (inflator) module or the seat belt pretensioner did deploy/activate, proceed with
Steps 16) through 19).
16. Put on a pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from possible irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag (inflator) module and the
activated seat belt pretensioner.
17. Disconnect the deployment harness from the air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner as soon after deployment/activation as
possible.
This will prevent damage to the deployment harness due to possible contact with the hot air bag (inflator) module and seat belt Pretensioner. The
deployment harness are designed to be reused. They should, however, be inspected for damage after each deployment/activation and replaced it if
necessary.
