WARNING
If the glass is scratched, the glass may be
shattered at deployment. Therefore, cover
with a vehicle cover to avoid danger.
8. In order to suppress the operation sound as much
as possible, fully close all the door windows, close
the doors, and then cover the vehicle with a
vehicle cover.
CAUTION
• Make sure that no one is present inside or
near the vehicle before deploying the air bag.
• Immediately after the air bag deployment, the
inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before han-
dling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more
to cool.
• If the air bag module does not deploy, consult
with your distributor.
9. Disconnect the deployment wire connection at a
place as far as possible from the vehicle. Then,
connect the wires to the removed vehicle battery
to deploy the air bag module.

ment of side-airbags caused by the static or oth-
ers.

the unintentional deployment caused by the
static. Therefore, make sure to perform the pro-
cedures.
