Precautions on Disposal of Air Bag and Seat
Belt Pretensioner
S6RW0D8200003
Do not dispose of the live (undeployed) air bag (inflator)
modules and the live (inactivated) seat belt
pretensioners.
When disposal is necessary, be sure to deploy / activate
the air bag and seat belt pretensioner according to
deployment / activation procedure described in “Air Bag
(Inflator) Module and Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal”.
WARNING!
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator)
module and seat belt pretensioner disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment
and pretensioner activation which could
cause personal injury. Undeployed air bag
(inflator) module and inactivated seat belt
pretensioner must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and
inactivated seat belt pretensioner contain
substances that can cause severe illness or
personal injury if the sealed container is
damaged during disposal.

General Description
Air Bag System ConstructionS6RW0D8201001
There are two types of air bag system in this model
depending on vehicle specification.
One is 4-channel air bag system and other is 8-channel
air bag system.
4-channel air bag system consists of the following parts.
• Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
• Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
• Forward impact-sensor
•SDM
8-channel air bag system consists of the following
component.
• Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
• Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
• Driver and passenger side-air bag (inflator) modules
• Driver and passenger side curtain-air bag (inflator)
modules
• Forward impact-sensor
• Driver and passenger side impact-sensors
•SDM
With the air bag system which includes front air bags for
both the driver’s and passenger’s sides as well as the
seat belt pretensioners, the sag of the seat belt is taken
up (for seat belt with pretensioner), the driver air bag
(inflator) 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.
In addition, with the air bag system which includes side-
air bags and side curtain-air bags for both the driver’s
and passenger’s side (8-channel system).
Side-air bag (inflator) module is deployed from the side
of the seat back in occurrence of a sideward collision
with an impact larger than a certain set value.Side curtain-air bag (inflator) module is deployed from
the roof side in occurrence of a sideward collision with
an impact larger than a certain set value.
