ment tool alligator clip to the battery negative (−)
terminal.
10) Connect the other cable of deployment tool to
the battery positive (+) terminal, and deploy the air-
bag module.

12.Disposal of Airbag Module
(Deploying After Removal
from Vehicle)
A: OPERATION
CAUTION:
 Do not discard an undeployed airbag module
because it may cause serious personal injury
when accidentally deployed.
 As a rule, the airbag module should be de-
ployed while still installed in the vehicle. Do not
remove the airbag modules unless necessary.
 Deployment of the airbag module should be
done on a flat place free from any possible dan-
ger. Avoid deploying outdoors during rainy or
windy weather.
 Do not damage the airbag module or drop it.
 Deploying the airbag module 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 from deployment
of the airbag module. Therefore, it must be de-
ployed in a well ventilated place with no smoke
detector nearby.
 Wear protective gloves, safety goggles and
earplugs during this operation. Wash your
hands afterwards.
 After deployment, the airbag module will be
especially hot, leave it unattended for 40 min-
utes, and then discard it.
 Do not let water get on the deployed airbag
module.
 Wrap the deployed airbag module in an air-
tight vinyl bag, and discard it.
 If circumstances do not permit the airbag
module deployment, contact the SUBARU deal-
er.

more], and bind them twofold around airbag mod-
ule stay.
6) Short the terminal to alligator clip furnished as
deployment tool (A).
7) Connect the deployment tool and deployment
adapter D (B).
CAUTION:

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.
