Disposal of Pretensioner
6. Disposal of Pretensioner
A: CAUTION
 Do not discard undeployed pretensioners, because
they may cause serious personal injury when acci-
dentally deployed.
 Deployment of the pretensioners should be done
on a flat place free from any possible danger. Avoid
deploying outdoors during heavy rainy or strong
windy weather.
 Do not drop or damage the pretensioner.
 Because deploying the pretensioners causes a
high-explosive noise, be sure to warn people in the
area, and do not allow anyone within a 5 m (16 ft)
radius of the disposal site.
 Some smoke will be emitted after deployment of
the pretensioners. Therefore, it must be deployed
in a well-ventilated area with no smoke alarms
nearby.
 Wear gloves, goggles, and earplugs during this
operation. Wash your hands afterwards.
 After deployment, the pretensioner is especially
hot. Leave it unattended for 40 minutes or longer,
and then discard it.
 Do not let water get on the deployed pretension-
er.
 Wrap the deployed pretensioner in an airtight vi-
nyl bag, and then discard it.
 If circumstances do not permit pretensioner de-
ployment, contact a SUBARU dealer.
