Air Bag (Inflator) Module and Seat Belt
Pretensioner Disposal
S6RW0D8206018
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 may cause
personal injury. Do not dispose of live
(undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules and
seat belt pretensioners. Because undeployed
air bag (inflator) module / inactivated seat
belt pretensioner must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels. Undeployed
air bag (inflator) module and inactivated seat
belt pretensioner contain substances that
can cause severe illness or personal injury if
sealed container is damaged during disposal.

Air bag (inflator) module / seat belt pretensioner can be
deployed / activated inside or outside of vehicle.
Deployment / Activation method used depends upon
final disposition of vehicle. Review the following
instructions in order to determine which will work best in
a given situation.
Deployment / Activation Outside of Vehicle: When you
intend to return the vehicle to service, deploy the air bag
(inflator) module(s) and/or activate seat belt
pretensioner(s) outside of the vehicle.
Deployment / Activation Inside of Vehicle: When the
vehicle will be destroyed, or salvaged for component
parts, deploy the air bag module(s) and/or activate seat
belt pretensioner(s) installed on vehicle.
WARNING!
The following precautions must be observed
for this work. Failure to observe any of them
may result in personal injury.
• Procedure should be followed strictly as
described here.
• Be sure to read “Precautions on Service
and Diagnosis of Air Bag System”
beforehand.
• To avoid accidental deployment /
activation, this work should be performed
by no more than one person.
• Since smoke is produced when air bag
(inflator) module is deployed and
pretensioner is activated, select well-
ventilated area.
• Air bag (inflator) module and seat belt
pretensioner will immediately deploy /
activate when 12 volts vehicle battery is
connected to it. Wear safety glasses
throughout this entire deployment /
activation and disposal procedure.
• Wear suitable ear protection when
deploying air bag (inflator) module /
activating seat belt pretensioner. Also,
advise those who are in area close to
deployment / activation site to wear
suitable ear protection.
• Do not deploy / activate two or more air
bag system components (air bag (inflator)
modules and seat belt pretensioners) at
the same time.
• Never connect deployment harness to any
12 volts vehicle battery before connecting
deployment harness to air bag (inflator)
module and seat belt pretensioner.
Deployment harness shall remain shorted
and not be connected to 12 volts vehicle
battery till you are ready to deploy air bag
(inflator) module or activate seat belt
pretensioner.

8) Route deployment harness (1) out of vehicle.
9) Check that inside of vehicle and area surrounding
vehicle are clear of all people and loose or
flammable objects.
10) Stretch deployment harness (1) to its full length 10 m
(33 ft).
11) Place 12 volts vehicle battery (2) near shorted end of
deployment harness (1).
12) Completely cover windshield area and front door
window openings with drop cloth, a blanket or any
similar item. This reduces possibility of injury due to
possible fragmentation of vehicle’s glass or interior.
13) Notify all people in immediate area that you intend to
deploy air bag (inflator) module or activate seat belt
pretensioners.
NOTE
• When air bag (inflator) module deploys or
seat belt pretensioners activate, rapid gas
expansion will create substantial report.
Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all
people in immediate area that you intend
to deploy air bag (inflator) module or to
activate seat belt pretensioner and suitable
ear protection should be worn.
• After air bag (inflator) module has been
deployed, surface of air bag may contain
powdery residue. This powder consists
primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate
air bag (inflator) module as it inflates) and
by-products of chemical reaction.

WARNING!
• Do not place deployed air bag (inflator)
module and activated seat belt
pretensioners near any flammable objects.
• Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air
bag (inflator) module and activated seat
belt pretensioners.
• Wait for about 30 minutes before touching
any metal surface of air bag (inflater)
module or seat belt pretensioner modules.
Disregarding these precautions may cause
fire or personal injury.
Failure to follow procedures may result in fire
or personal injury.

14) Separate two banana plugs (1) on deployment
harness (2).
15) Connect deployment harness (2) to 12 volts vehicle
battery (3). This will immediately deploy or activate
air bag (inflator) module or seat belt pretensioners.
16) Disconnect deployment harness (2) from 12 volts
vehicle battery (3) and short two deployment
harness leads together by fully seating one banana
plug into the other.
17) Repeat Steps 3) through 16) to deploy / activate air
bag (inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners
which has not been deployed / activated, if any.
18) In the unlikely event that air bag (inflator) module
and seat belt pretensioners after following these
procedures, proceed immediately with Step 24)
through 26). If air bag (inflator) module and seat belt
pretensioners did deploy / activate, proceed with
Steps 19) through 23).
19) Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and clean
off any fragments or discard it entirely.
20) Put on pair of shop gloves to protect your hands from
possible irritation and heat when handling deployed
air bag (inflator) module and activated seat belt
pretensioners.
