Disposal of Air Bag Module and Seat Belt Pre-
tensioner
NJRS0022+Before 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-46).
+When deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-
tensioner, always use the Special Service Tool; Deployment
tool KV99106400.
+When deploying the air bag module and seat belt pre-
tensioner, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the deployment
component.
+When deploying air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner, a
fairly loud noise is made, followed by smoke being released.
The smoke is not poisonous, however, be careful not to inhale
smoke since it irritates the throat and can cause choking.
+Always activate one air bag module at a time.
+Due to heat, leave air bag module unattended for more than
30 minutes after deployment. Also leave seat belt pre-ten-
sioner unattended for move than 10 minutes after deployment.
+Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag
module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
+Never apply water to the deployed air bag module and seat
belt pre-tensioner.
+Wash your hands clean after finishing work.
+Place the vehicle outdoors with an open space of at least 6 m
(20 ft) on all sides when deploying air bag module and seat belt
pre-tensioner while mounted in vehicle.
+Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully
charged.
+Do not dispose of the air bag module and seat belt pre-ten-
sioner un-deployed.

CHECKING DEPLOYMENT TOOLNJRS0022S01Connecting to BatteryNJRS0022S0101CAUTION:
The battery must show voltage of 9.6V or more.
Remove the battery from the vehicle and place it on dry wood
blocks approximately 5 m (16 ft) away from the vehicle.
+Wait 3 minutes after the vehicle battery is disconnected before
proceeding.
+Connect red clip of deployment tool to battery positive termi-
nal and black clip to negative terminal.
Make sure the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the
tool, marked ªdeployment tool powerº, should glow with a
green light. If the right side lamp glows red, reverse the con-
nections to the battery.

DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES FOR AIR BAG MODULE
(OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE)
NJRS0022S02Unless the vehicle is being scrapped, deploying the air bag in the
vehicle is not recommended. This may cause damage to the
vehicle interior.
Anchor air bag module bracket (KV99105300) in a vise secured to
a firm foundation during deployment.
Deployment of Driver Air Bag Module (Outside of
vehicle)
NJRS0022S02011. Using wire, secure driver air bag module to air bag module
bracket (SST: KV99105300) at two places.
CAUTION:
Use wire of at least 1 mm (0.04 in) diameter.
2. Firmly secure air bag module bracket (SST: KV99105300) with
driver air bag module attached, in a vise.
