B: CAUTION

• Before starting service, turn the ignition switch to
OFF, disconnect the battery ground cable and wait
for 20 seconds or more.
• The pretensioner system has a backup power
source. The pretensioner might deploy if you do not
wait for 20 seconds or more before starting work.
• Do not drop or apply any impact to the preten-
sioner.
• If oil, grease or water gets on the pretensioner,
wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth.
• Do not expose the pretensioner to high tempera-
ture or flame.
• Do not allow current to flow through or voltage to
reach the pretensioner. Do not use a circuit tester
to check resistance of the pretensioner.
• Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the pre-
tensioner. If it is dented, cracked or deformed, re-
place it with a new one.
• Do not use the airbag or pretensioner parts from
other vehicles. Always replace the parts with new
ones.
• When handling a seat belt with deployed preten-
sioner, wear gloves and goggles. Wash your hands
afterwards.
• Do not reuse a seat belt with deployed preten-
sioner.
• If the material gets in your eyes or on your skin
during deployment, wash it away with clean water,
and then consult a doctor.
