Disposal of Air Bag Module and Seat Belt
Pre-tensioner
lBefore disposing of air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, or vehicles equipped with such systems,
deploy the systems. If such systems have already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of as
indicated in ªDISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº (RS-27).
lWhen deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, always use the Special Service Tool;
Deployment tool KV99106400.
lWhen deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from
deployment component.
lWhen 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.
lAlways activate one air bag module at a time.
lDue to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than 30 minutes after deployment. Also leave
seat belt pre-tensioner unattended for more than 10 minutes after deployment.
lBe sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
lNever apply water to a deployed air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
lWash your hands clean after finishing work.
lPlace 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.
lUse a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged.
lDo not dispose of the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner un-deployed.
CHECKING DEPLOYMENT TOOL
Connecting to battery
CAUTION:
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.
lWait 3 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected
before proceeding.
lConnect 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
connections to the battery.

ule and seat belt pre-tensioner in the vehicle is not recom-
mended. This may cause damage to the vehicle interior.
Anchor air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner in a vise
secured to a firm foundation during deployment.
Deployment of Driver's Air Bag Module (Outside of
vehicle)

[SST: KV99105300] at two places.
CAUTION:
Use wire of at least 1 mm (0.04 in) diameter.
2. Attach tightly the air bag module bracket [SST: KV99105300]
with air bag module in a vise.
3. Connect deployment tool [SST: KV99106400] to air bag mod-
ule connector.
