Part 2

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE [DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE]

1. DANGER:
Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cables before doing any further work (Refer to Service Precautions).

WARNING:

- Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
- Deploy the air bag in a wide, flat area at least 6 meters (20 feet) away from obstacles and other people.
- Do not perform deployment outside if a strong wind is blowing. If there is a slight breeze, place the air bag module downwind from the battery.

Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.

CAUTION:
Once disconnected, both electrodes of the driver's 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 a flat place with deployment surface facing up. Do not put anything on it.

2. Remove the air bag module from the vehicle (Refer Removal and Installation

3. Connect deployment wires, each 6 meters (20 feet) or longer, to the two leads of special tool MB992102, and cover the connections with insulator tape. The other ends of the deployment wires should be connected to each other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected deployment of the air bag module.
NOTE:
This prevents the air bags from being unintentionally deployed because of the static and others.

4. Connect the special tool MB992102 to the driver's air bag module.
5. To the torx screw installation hole located at the backside of air bag module, tie a thick wire for fixing the wheel.

6. Route the deployment wires connected to the driver's air bag module beneath an old tire and wheel assembly. Then, using the wire tied to the bolt, secure the driver's air bag module to the tire and wheel assembly with the deployment surface facing up.

7. Place three old tires without wheels on the tire secured with the driver's air bag module.

8. 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.

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.
9. Discard the deployed air bag module as specified in Deployed Air Bag Module and Operated 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.

3. WARNING:
If after following these precautions, any material does get into the eyes or on the skin, immediately rinse the affected area with a large amount of clean water. If any irritation develops, seek medical attention.

There may be material on the deployed air bag module or the operated seat belt pre-tensioner, that could irritate the eye and/or skin. Wear gloves and safety glasses when handling a deployed air bag module or the operated seat belt pre-tensioner.

4. Tightly seal the air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner in a strong plastic bag for disposal.
5. Be sure to always wash your hands after completing this operation.
