11) Place a power source near the shorted end (3) of the deploy-
ment harness. Recommended application: 12 Volts mini-
mum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.
12) Completely cover windshield area and front door window
openings with a drop cloth, blanket to similar item (2). This
reduces the possibility of injury due to possible fragmenta-
tion of the vehicle’s glass or interior.

deploy the air bag (inflator) module or activate the seat belt
pretensioner.
.
NOTE:
When the air bag deploys and the pretensioner acti-
vates, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial
report. Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all people
in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air
bag (inflator) module or to activate the seat belt preten-
sioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction.
WARNING:
After deployment/activation, the metal surfaces of the
air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner
will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of them
for about 30 minutes after deployment/activation.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (infla-
tor) module and activated seat belt pretensioner. Fail-
ure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal
injury.
