AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

52B-260

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE 
<CURTAIN AIR BAG MODULE>

WARNING

•

This should be carried out in a wide, flat 
area at least 6 m away from obstacles and 
other people.

•

Do not deploy outside if wind is high. 
Even in a soft wind, ignite to windward of 
the air bag modules. 

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting 
the battery cables before doing any further 
work (Refer to 

P.52B-7

).

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery 

cables from the battery terminals, and then 
remove the battery from the vehicle.

WARNING

Once disconnected, both electrodes of the 
curtain air bag module connector short 
automatically to prevent accidental 
deployment caused by static etc. Still, in 
consideration of the accidental deployment, 
store the air bag module on flat place with 
deployment surface facing up. Also, do not 
put anything on it. 

2. Remove the headlining (Refer to GROUP 52A, 

Headlining 

P.52A-17

).

3. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking 

button of the harness-side connector (2-pin, 
black) by with drawing it toward you in two stages.

4. Disconnect the G-01 or G-04 harness side 

connector.

5. Cut the inflator and the air bag with a cutter.

6. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to 

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness 
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with 
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires 
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the 
passenger's air bag from accidental deployment 
caused by static etc.

7. Feed a thick wire through the bracket of the 

inflator, and connect it to an old tyre with a wheel.

8. Connect the SRS air bag adapter harness 

(MB991885) to the inflator connector.

9. Place three old tyres without wheels on top of the 

tyre secured to the air bag module, and secure all 
tyres together with ropes (four locations).

WARNING

•

Before deployment, check carefully to be 
sure that no one is nearby. 

•

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 
poisonous, do not inhale gas from air bag 
deployment. See Deployed Air Bag 
Module and Operated Seat Belt 
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ) for 
post-deployment handling instructions. 

•

If the air bag fails to deploy, do not go 
near the module. Contact your distributor.

10.At a location as far away from the air bag module 

as possible, and from a shielded position, 
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. 

11.Discard the deployed inflator as specified in 

Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated Seat Belt 
Pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ). 

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE 
<SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER>

WARNING

•

This should be carried out in a wide, flat 
area at least 6 m away from obstacles and 
other people.

•

Do not deploy outside if wind is high. 
Even in a soft wind, ignite to windward of 
the air bag modules. 

DANGER

Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting 
the battery cables before doing any further 
work (Refer to 

P.52B-7

).

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery 

cables from the battery terminals, and then 
remove the battery from the vehicle.

WARNING

Store the operated seat belt pre-tensioner 
the correct way up with its operation surface 
upper most on a flat surface. Do not place 
anything on top of them.

2. Remove the seat belt pre-tensioner from the 

vehicle (Refer to 

P.52B-239

).

3. Use a flat-tipped screwdriver to unlock the locking 

button of the harness-side connector (2-pin, 
black) by with drawing it toward you in two stages.

4. Disconnect the D-19 or D-32 harness side 

connector.

5. Connect deployment wires longer than 6 m to 

each special tool SRS air bag adapter harness 
(MB991885) and insulate the connections with 
plastic tape. Also, connect the deployment wires 
in the other ends to short, thereby preventing the

6. Connect the special tool SRS air bag adapter 

harness (MB991885), which the deployment wires 
is attached to, to the seat belt pre-tensioner 
connector.

CAUTION

The adapter harness below the wheel should be 
loose. If it is too tight, the reaction when the seat 
belt pre-tensioner operates could damage the 
adapter harness.
7. Pass the thick wires through the hole on the seat 

belt pre-tensioner bracket and secure them to the 
front (raised part) of the wheel on two place.

8. Pull the seat belt out the outside of the tyre, and 

then place one tyre without a wheel inside on top 
of the existing tyre.

WARNING

•

Before operation, check carefully to be sure 

that no one is nearby.

•

The inflator will be quite hot immediately 
following the operation, so wait at least 30 
minutes to allow it to cool before 
attempting to handle it. Although not 
poisonous, do not inhale gas from seat 
belt pre-tensioner operation. See 
Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated 
Seat Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to 
) for post-operation handling instructions.

•

If the seat belt pre-tensioner fails to 
operate, do not go near the seat belt 
pre-tensioner. Contact your distributor.

9. At a location as far away from the air bag module 

as possible, and from a shielded position, 
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 operated seat belt pre-tensioner.

10.Discard the operated seat belt pre-tensioner as 

specified in Deployed Air Bag Module and Seat 
Belt pre-tensioner Disposal (Refer to ).

DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE AND 
OPERATED SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER 
DISPOSAL

After deployment and operation, the air bag module 
and seat belt pre-tensioner should be disposed of in 
the same manner as any other scrap parts, adhering 
to local laws and/or legislation. Observe the following 
precautions during air bag or seat belt pre-tensioner 
disposal:
1. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following 

deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it 
cool before attempting to handle it.

2. Do not put water or oil on the air bag after 

deployment or on the seat belt pre-tensioner after 
operation.
