DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER WHILE MOUNTED IN VEHICLE
NJRS0022S03When disposing of a vehicle, deploy air bag module and seat belt
pre-tensioners while they are mounted in vehicle.
CAUTION:
When deploying air bag module or seat belt pre-tensioner,
ensure vehicle is empty.
1. Disconnect both the vehicle battery cables and wait 3 minutes.
2. Disconnect air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner connec-
tor.

DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE AND SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER
NJRS0022S04Deployed air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner are very hot.
Before disposing of air bag module, and seat belt pre-tensioner
wait at least 30 minutes, and 10 minutes, respectively. Seal them
in a plastic bag before disposal.
CAUTION:
Never apply water to a deployed air bag module and seat
belt pre-tensioner.
Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag
module and seat belt pre-tensioner.
No poisonous gas is produced upon air bag module
deployment. However, be careful not to inhale gas since it
irritates throat and can cause choking.
Do not attempt to disassemble air bag module and seat
belt pre-tensioner.
Air bag module and seat belt pre-tensioner cannot be
reused.
Wash your hands clean after finishing work.
