SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS DISPOSAL
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper seat belt pretensioner (retractor assembly) disposal procedures can result in
pretensioner activation which may cause personal injury. Inactivated seat belt pretensioner must not
be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
The inactivated seat belt pretensioner contain substances that can cause severe illness or personal
injury if the sealed container is damaged during disposal.
Do not dispose of the live (inactivated) seat belt pretensioners.
The method employed depends upon the final disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in ªActivation Outside
Vehicleº and ªActivation Inside Vehicleº in this section.
Activation Outside Vehicle disposing of the seat belt pretension(s) only (i.e., the vehicle itself will be used. . . . . . . .
again).
Activation Inside Vehicle scrapping the entire vehicle including the seat belt pretensioners.. . . . . . . . . .
ACTIVATION OUTSIDE VEHICLE
Use this procedure when the vehicle itself is used again (only the seat belt pretensioner(s) are disposed of).
WARNING:
Following precautions must be observed for this work. Failure to observe any of them may result in
personal injury.

To avoid an accidental activation, this work should be performed by no more than one person.

The procedure should be followed strictly as described here.

Be sure to read ªService Precautionsº in this section for the seat belt pretensioner beforehand.

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.

DEPLOYED AIR BAG (INFLATOR)
MODULES DISPOSAL
WARNING:
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator) module disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment which may
cause personal injury. Undeployed air bag (inflator) module
must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module contains sub-
stances that can cause severe illness or personal injury if
the sealed container is damaged during disposal.
Deployed air bag (inflator) modules (driver/passenger) can be dis-
posed of through normal refuse channels just like any other parts.
For their disposal, however, following points should be noted.

The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deployment is very
hot. Wait for 30 minutes to cool it off before handling it.

Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module
to cool it off and be careful so that water, oil etc. does not get on
the deployed air bag (inflator) module.

After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the surface
of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder con-
sists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it in-
flates) and byproducts of the chemical reaction. As with many ser-
vice procedures, you should wear gloves and safety glasses.

When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) module, be sure
to seal it in a vinyl bag.

When air bag (inflator) module(s) have been deployed inside the
vehicle which is going to be scrapped, leave them as installed to
the vehicle.

Be sure to wash your hands with mild soap and water after han-
dling it.
