Never connect deployment harness to any power source before connecting deployment harness to
the seat belt pretensioner. Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be connected to a power
source until the pretensioner is to be activated.
The seat belt pretensioner will immediately activate the pretensioner when a power source is con-
nected to it. Wear safety glasses throughout this entire activation and disposal procedure.
Wear suitable ear protection when activating pretensioner. Also, advise those who are in the area
close to activation site to wear suitable ear protection.
Do not activate driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners at the same time.
