GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Seat belt with ELR
The seat belt with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) is designed so that it locks immediately (to prevent the web-
bing from being pulled out of the retractor any further) when any of the following items is detected as exceeding
each set value; speed at which the webbing is pulled out of the retractor, acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle
speed, and inclination.
Seat belt with A-ELR
The automatic and emergency locking retractor (A-ELR) works as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) till its
webbing is pulled all the way out and then on as an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) till it is retracted fully.
ALR: Automatically locks when the webbing is pulled out from the retractor and allowed to retract even a little.
Then the webbing can not be pulled out any further, unless it is wound all the way back into the retractor, which
releases the lock and allows the webbing to be pulled out.
Driver and front passenger side air bags
The driver and front passenger side air bags are components of the air bag system. In occurrence of a front collision
with an impact larger than a certain set value, they are activated by the ignition signal from SDM to supplement
protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
the driver air bag (inflator) module is deployed from the center of the steering column
the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat
For more information, refer to SECTION 10B ªAir Bag Systemº.

AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
With the air bag system which includes air bags for both the driver's
and passenger's sides as well as the seat belt pretensioners (if
equipped), the sag of the seat belt is taken up, the driver air bag (in-
flator) module is deployed from the center of the steering column
and the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the
instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat in occurrence
of a front collision with an impact larger than a certain set value to
supplement protection offered by the driver and front passenger
seat belts.
The air bag system is designed to activate only in severe frontal col-
lisions. It is not designed to activate in rear impacts, side impacts,
rollovers, or minor frontal collisions, since it would offer no protec-
tion in those types of accidents.

ACCIDENT WITH OR WITHOUT DEPLOYMENT ± COM-
PONENT INSPECTIONS
Certain air bag and restraint system components must be in-
spected after any crash, whether the air bag deployed or not.
Those components are:
Steering column and shaft joints
± Check for length, damage and bend according to ªChecking
Steering Column for Accident Damageº in SECTION 3C1.
Steering column bracket and capsules
± Check for damage and bent.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Steering wheel and driver air bag (inflator) module
± Check for damage or air bag (inflator) module fitness.
± Check trim cover (pad surface) for cracks.
± Check wire harness and connector for damage or tightness.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Contact coil and combination switch assembly
± Check wire harness and connectors for damage or tightness.
± Check contact coil case for damage.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
Instrument panel member and reinforcement

PASSENGER AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE
WARNING:
Never attempt to disassemble or repair the passenger air bag (inflator) module. If any abnormality is
found, be sure to replace it with new one as an assembly.
Be sure to read ªService Precautionsº in this section before starting to work and observe every pre-
caution during work. Neglecting them may result in personal injury or undeployment of the air bag
when necessary.
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative battery cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system. Refer to ªDisabling Air Bag Systemº ear-
lier in this section.
3) Open glove box, then while pressing glove box stopper, pull out
glove box from instrument panel.
4) Remove glove box from instrument panel.
5) Remove passenger air bag (inflator) module attaching bolts and
screws, and passenger air bag (inflator) module from vehicle.
WARNING:
When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you.
Never carry air bag (inflator) module by wires or con-
nector on the side of the module. In case of an acciden-
tal deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal
chance of injury.
As the live passenger air bag (inflator) module must be
kept with its bag (trim cover) facing up while being
stored or left standing, place it on the workbench with
a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it securely at its
lower mounting bracket. This is necessary so that a
free space is provided to allow the air bag to expand in
the unlikely event of accidental deployment.
Observe ªService Precautionsº earlier in this section
for handling and storing it.
Otherwise personal injury may result.

DEPLOYMENT INSIDE VEHICLE
Use this procedure when scrapping the entire vehicle including the driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules.
CAUTION:
When vehicle itself will be used again, deploy the air bag outside vehicle according to ªDeployment
Outside Vehicleº, for deploying it inside will cause the instrument panel, glove box and their vicinity
to be deformed.
Failure to observe this CAUTION may require unneeded vehicle inspection and repair.
WARNING:
Following precautions must be observed for this work. Failure to observe any of them may result in
personal injury.
To avoid an accidental deployment, 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 for the air bag (inflator) module beforehand.
Never connect deployment harness to any power source before connecting deployment harness to
the air bag (inflator) module. Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be connected to a
power source until the air bag is to be deployed.
The air bag (inflator) module will immediately deploy the air bag when a power source is connected
to it. Wear safety glasses throughout this entire deployment and disposal procedure.
Wear suitable ear protection when deploying air bag. Also, advise those who are in the area close to
deployment site to wear suitable ear protection.
Do not deploy driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules at the same time.
1) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº, remove key and put on safety
glasses.
2) Remove all loose objects from front seats and instrument panel.
3) [For driver air bag (inflator) module]
Disconnect contact coil connector (yellow connector) located
near the base of the steering column.
ii) Release locking of lock lever.
ii) After unlocked, disconnect to connector.
[For passenger air bag (inflator) module]
Remove glove box from instrument panel and disconnect pas-
senger air bag (inflator) module connector (yellow connector).
ii) Release locking of lock lever.
ii) After unlocked, disconnect to connector.
