SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
52B-295
WARNING
•
Before deploying the air bag in this man-
ner, first check to be sure that there is no
one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety
glasses.
•
The inflator will be quite hot immediately
following the deployment, so wait at least
30 minutes to allow it to cool before
attempting to handle it. Although not poi-
sonous, do not inhale gas from the air bag
deployment. See Deployed Air Bag Mod-
ule and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner
Disposal (Refer to ) for post-deployment
handling instructions.
•
If the air bag module fails to deploy, do
not go near the module. Contact your dis-
tributor.
8. At a location as far away from the vehicle as
possible, disconnect the two connected wires
from each other, and connect them to the two
terminals of the battery (which has been removed
from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.
9. After deployment, dispose of the curtain air bag
module according to the Deployed Air Bag
Module and Operated Seat Belt Pre-tensioner
Disposal (Refer to ).
DEPLOYMENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE (WHEN
DISPOSING OF A VEHICLE) <SEAT BELT PRE-
TENSIONER>
1. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.
DANGER
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting
the battery cables before doing any further
work (Refer to
P.52B-5
).
2. Disconnect the negative and positive battery
cables from the battery terminals, and then
remove the battery from the vehicle.

4. Execute the following steps to disconnect the
connection between D-15 or D-23 seat belt pre-
tensioner connector (2-pin) and harness side
connector (2-pin, black).
NOTE: Once disconnected from the floor wiring
harness, both electrode of the seat belt pre-ten-
sioner connector short automatically. This pre-
vents the seat belt pre-tensioner from accidental
deployment caused by static etc.
(1) Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out
forward and unlock the locking button of the
harness-side connector (2-pin, black).
(2) Disconnect the D-15 or D-23 harness side

Insulator tape
6 m or longer
5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to
each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with
insulator tape. Also, connect the deployment
wires in the other ends to short, thereby
preventing the seat belt pre-tensioner from
accidental deployment caused by static etc.
