SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — Disposal of Air Bag Module

Before disposing of air bag module, or vehicles equipped with such systems, deploy the systems. If such systems have already been deployed due to an accident, dispose of as indicated in "DISPOSING OF AIR BAG MODULE". When deploying the air bag module, always use the Special Service Tool; Deployment tool KV99106400. When deploying the air bag module, stand at least 5 m (16 ft) away from the deployment component. When deploying air bag module, 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. Be sure to wear gloves when handling a deployed air bag module. Never apply water to a deployed air bag module. 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 while mounted in the vehicle. Use a voltmeter to make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged. Do not dispose of the air bag module un-deployed.

The battery must show voltage of 9.6 V or more.

Make sure the polarity is correct. The right side lamp in the tool, marked "deployment tool power", should glow with a green light. If the right side lamp glows red, reverse the connections to the battery.
