8) Route deployment harness out the vehicle.
9) Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area surrounding
the vehicle are clear of all people and loose or flammable
objects.
10) Stretch the deployment harness to its full length 10 m (33 ft)
(1).
Special tool
(A) : 09932-75030
11) Place a power source near the shorted end (3) of the deploy-
ment harness. Recommended application: 12 Volts mini-
mum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.
12) Completely cover windshield area and front door window
openings with a drop cloth, blanket to similar item (2). This
reduces the possibility of injury due to possible fragmenta-
tion of the vehicle’s glass or interior.
13) Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to
deploy the air bag (inflator) module or activate the seat belt
pretensioner.

[B] : Driver side for right hand steering vehicle
NOTE:
When the air bag deploys and the pretensioner acti-
vates, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial
report. Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all people
in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air
bag (inflator) module or to activate the seat belt preten-
sioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction.
WARNING:
After deployment/activation, the metal surfaces of the
air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner
will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of them
for about 30 minutes after deployment/activation.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (infla-
tor) module and activated seat belt pretensioner. Fail-
ure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal
injury.

14) Separate the two banana plugs on the deployment harness.
15) Connect (1) the deployment harness to the power source (12
V vehicle battery) (2) to immediately deploy/activate the air
bag or the pretensioner.
16) Disconnect the deployment harness from the power source
(12 V vehicle battery) (2) and short (4) the two deployment
harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into
the other.
17) Put on a pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from pos-
sible irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag
(inflator) module and the activated seat belt pretensioner.
18) Disconnect the deployment harness from the air bag (infla-
tor) module and the seat belt pretensioner as soon after
deployment/activation as possible.
This will prevent damage to the deployment harness due to
possible contact with the hot air bag (inflator) module and
seat belt pretensioner. The deployment harness are
designed to be reused. They should, however, be inspected
for damage after each deployment/activation and replaced it
if necessary.
19) Carefully remove drop cloth (3) from vehicle and clean off
any fragments or discard it entirely.
20) Repeat Steps 2) through 19) to deploy/activate air bag (infla-
tor) modules and seat belt pretensioners which has not been
deployed/activated, if any.
21) In the unlikely event that the air bag (inflator) module and the
seat belt pretensioner proceed immediately with Steps 23)
through 25). If the air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt
pretensioner did deploy/activate, proceed with Steps 22).
22) With air bags deployed and pretensioners activated the vehi-
cle may be scrapped in the same manner as a non-air bag
system equipped vehicle.
23) Remove the undeployed air bag (inflator) module(s) and the
inactivated seat belt pretensioner(s) from the vehicle. For
driver air bag (inflator) module refer to SECTION 3C1, for
passenger air bag (inflator) module refer to “ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE”, for seat belt pretensioner refer to SECTION 10A.
24) [For air bag (inflator) module]
Temporarily store the air bag (inflator) module with its vinyl
trim cover facing up, away from the surface upon which it
rests. Refer to “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” for details.
[For seat belt pretensioner]
When temporarily strong the seat belt pretensioner, be sure
NOT to face its exhaust hole provided side down. It must
face up. Refer to “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” for details.
25) Contact your local distributor for further assistance.

Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and Acti-
vated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal
Deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat belt pre-
tensioner can be disposed of through normal refuse channels just
like any other parts. For their disposal, however, following points
should be noted.
•The air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner
immediately after deployment/activation is very hot. Wait for
30 minutes to cool it off before handling it.
•Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator)
module and the activated seat belt pretensioner to cool it off
and be careful so that water, oil etc. does not get on the
deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat belt
pretensioner.
•After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the
surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the
bag as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical reaction.
As with many service procedures, you should wear gloves
and safety glasses.
•When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) module and
the activated seat belt pretensioner, be sure to seal it in a
vinyl bag.
•When air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioner
have been deployed/activated inside the vehicle which is
going to be scrapped, leave them as installed to the vehicle.
•Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water after
handling it. WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module and seat
belt pretensioner disposal procedures can result in air
bag deployment and pretensioner activation which may
cause personal injury. The undeployed air bag (inflator)
module and the inactivated seat belt pretensioner must
not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and the inacti-
vated seat belt pretensioner contains substances that
can cause severe illness or personal injury if the sealed
container is damaged during disposal.
