1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the vehicle.
2. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-bag.
CAUTION:
- When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
- The front seat airbag assembly LH becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
