Disposal of Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-
tensioner
NBRS0018IBefore disposing of air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner,
or vehicles equipped with such systems, deploy the systems.
If such systems have already been deployed due to an
accident, dispose of them as indicated in ªDISPOSING OF AIR
BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº (RS-28).
IWhen deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-
tensioner, always use the Special Service Tool; Deployment
tool KV99106400 (Kent-Moore No. J38381).
