IWhen deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-
tensioner, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the deployment
component.
IWhen deploying air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, a
fairly loud noise is made, followed by smoke being released.
The smoke is not poisonous, however, be careful not to inhale
smoke since it irritates the throat and can cause choking.
IAlways activate one air bag module at a time.
IDue to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than
30 minutes after deployment. Also leave seat belt pre-ten-
sioner unattended for move than 10 minutes after deployment.
IBe sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag
module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
INever apply water to the deployed air bag module and seat
belt pre-tensioner.
IWash your hands clean after finishing work.
IPlace the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m
(20 ft) on all sides when deploying air bag module and seat belt
pre-tensioner while mounted in vehicle.
IUse a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully
charged.
IDo not dispose of the air bag module and seat belt pre-ten-
sioner un-deployed.

CHECKING DEPLOYMENT TOOLNBRS0018S01Connecting to BatteryNBRS0018S0101CAUTION:
The battery must show voltage of 9.6V or more.
Remove the battery from the vehicle and place it on dry wood
blocks approximately 5 m (16 ft) away from the vehicle.
IWait 3 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected before
proceeding.
IConnect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive termi-
nal and black clip to negative terminal.
Make sure the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the
tool, marked ªdeployment tool powerº, should glow with a
green light. If the right side lamp glows red, reverse the con-
nections to the battery.

How to Handle BatteryNBSC0003CAUTION:
IIf it becomes necessary to start the engine with a booster
battery and jumper cables, use a 12-volt booster battery.
IAfter connecting battery cables, ensure that they are
tightly clamped to battery terminals for good contact.
INever add distilled water through the hole used to check
specific gravity.
MEL040F
METHODS OF PREVENTING OVER-DISCHARGENBSC0003S01The following precautions must be taken to prevent over-discharg-
ing a battery.
IThe battery surface (particularly its top) should always be kept
clean and dry.
IThe terminal connections should be clean and tight.
IAt every routine maintenance, check the electrolyte level.
This also applies to batteries designated as ªlow maintenanceº
and ªmaintenance-freeº.
MEL041F
IWhen the vehicle is not going to be used over a long period of
time, disconnect the negative battery terminal. (If the vehicle
has an extended storage switch, turn it off.)
MEL042F
ICheck the charge condition of the battery.
Periodically check the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Keep
a close check on charge condition to prevent over-discharge.
CHECKING ELECTROLYTE LEVELNBSC0003S02WARNING:
Do not allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes,
fabrics, or painted surfaces. After touching a battery, do not
touch or rub your eyes until you have thoroughly washed your
hands. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately
flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

SulphationNBSC0003S0201A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been ªsulphatedº, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
MEL042FA
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECKNBSC0003S031. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Use the chart below to correct your hydrometer reading
according to electrolyte temperature.

CHARGING THE BATTERYNBSC0003S04CAUTION:
IDo not ªquick chargeº a fully discharged battery.
IKeep the battery away from open flame while it is being
charged.
IWhen connecting the charger, connect the leads first, then
turn on the charger. Do not turn on the charger first, as
this may cause a spark.
IIf battery electrolyte temperature rises above 60ÉC (140ÉF),
stop charging. Always charge battery at a temperature
below 60ÉC (140ÉF).
Charging RatesNBSC0003S0401
Amps Time

25 2 hours

Do not charge at more than 50 ampere rate.
NOTE:
The ammeter reading on your battery charger will automatically
decrease as the battery charges. This indicates that the voltage of
the battery is increasing normally as the state of charge improves.
The charging amps indicated above refer to initial charge rate.
IIf, after charging, the specific gravity of any two cells varies
more than .050, the battery should be replaced.

Trouble Diagnoses with
Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester
NBSC0018CAUTION:
When working with batteries, always wear appropriate eye
protection.
NOTE:
ITo ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery,
starter and alternator test segments must be done as a set
from start to finish.
IIf battery surface charge is detected while testing, the tester
will prompt you to turn on the headlights to remove the surface
charge.
IIf necessary, the tester will prompt you to determine if the bat-
tery temperature is above or below 0ÉC (32ÉF). Choose the
appropriate selection by pressing the up or down arrow button,
then press ªENTERº to make the selection.

1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system. Clean or
repair as necessary.
2. Visually inspect the battery, battery terminals and cable ends
with ignition switch in ªOFFº position.
NOTE:
The contact surface between the battery terminals, cable ends and
tester leads must be clean for a valid test. A poor connection will
prevent testing and a ªCHECK CONNECTIONº message will
appear during the test procedures. If this occurs, clean the battery
post and terminals, reconnect them and restart the test.
3. Connect the red tester lead clamp to the positive battery
terminal, and the black to the negative terminal.

5. Locate the battery type and rating stamped or written on the
top case of the battery to be tested.
NOTE:
The battery type and rating will have either of the following.
CCA: Cold Cranking Amps (490 CCA, 550 CCA, etc.)
JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard.
Battery is stamped with a number such as:
80D26L: 80 (rank of output), D (physical size-depth), 26 (width
in cm). The last character L (post configuration) is not input into
the tester.
The tester requires the rating for the battery be entered exactly
as it is written or stamped on the battery. Do not attempt a CCA
conversion for JIS stamped batteries. JIS must be input
directly.
6. Using the arrow and ªENTERº keys alternately, select the bat-
tery type and rating.
