LIVE (INACTIVATED) SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (inac-
tivated) seat belt pretensioners.
Also, when the seat belt pretensioners activate, gas is generated
and the seat belt (1) is retracted into the retractor assembly (2)
quickly.
Note, therefore, that if they activate accidentally, the seat belt pre-
tensioners and other object(s) around them may be thrown
through the air.
•Never attempt to disassemble the seat belt pretensioners
(retractor assembly).
•If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with new
one as an assembly.
•When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live (inacti-
vated) seat belt pretensioner, be sure to activate it before
discarding it.
•When grease, cleaning agent oil, water, etc., got on the seat
belt pretensioners (retractor assembly), wipe it off immedi-
ately with a dry cloth.
•If seat belt pretensioner was dropped from a height of 30 cm
(1 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a new one as an
assembly. WARNING:
When placing a live air bag (inflator) module on bench or
other surface, always face the bag up, away from the sur-
face. As the live passenger air bag (inflator) module must
be placed with its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on
the workbench with a slit (1) or use the workbench vise
(2) to hold it securely at its lower mounting bracket (3).
It is also prohibited to place anything on top of the trim
cover and stack air bag (inflator) modules.
This is necessary so that a free space is provided to
allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of acci-
dental deployment.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.

WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the seat belt
pretensioners. It is very dangerous as the electric current
from the tester may activate pretensioner.
