Deployment Outside the Vehicle
Cautions
1 Make deployment on a wide, level ground with no person or obstacle around within a radius of 6 m (20 ft.).
2. Do not perform deployment outside, if a strong wind is blowing, and if there is even a slight breeze, the air bag module should be placed and deployed downwind from the battery.
Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
Caution: Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work. Service Precautions
Remove the air bag module from the vehicle. Air Bag Replacement
Caution: The air bag module should be stored on a flat surface and placed so that the pad cover face up. Do not place anything on top of it.
3. Connect two wires each six meters (20 feet) long or more, to the two leads of SRS AIR BAG ADAPTER HARNESS B, and cover the connections with Insulation tape. The other ends of the two wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment of the air bag.
4. Install a disused nut to each of the four bolts on the rear side of air bag module and connect thick wires to these bolts to secure the module to the wheel.
5. Pass SRS air bag adapter harness B, connected with wires, under the used tire with a wheel and connect the harness to the air bag module.
6. Put the air bag module in the wheel fitted with a used tire. Using the wires or the like connected to the module's bolts, secure the air bag module. Then turn the module upward.
Caution: Slacken the adapter harness under the wheel to allow for the reaction produced in deployment of the module. If not, the adapter harness may be damaged by the reaction created in deployment.
7. Stick three used tires with no wheel on the tire to which the air bag module has been secured.
8. At a location as far away from the air bag module as possible, and from a shielded position, if possible, disconnect the two connected wires from each other and connect them to the two terminals of the battery (removed from the vehicle) to deploy the air bag.
Cautions
1. Before deployment, check carefully to be sure that no one is nearby.
2. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following 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. Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal
3. If the air bag module fails to deploy when the procedures above are followed, do not go near the module. Contact your local distributor.
