Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool:
•
If the green light on the tool comes on, the air-
bag igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy
the airbag. Go to Damaged Airbag Special
Procedure.
•
If the red light on the tool comes on, the airbag is
ready to be deployed.

Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbag
should deploy (deployment is both highly audible
and visible; a loud noise and rapid inflation of the
bag, followed by slow deflation).
•
If the airbags deploy and the green light on the
tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
•
If an airbag doesn't deploy, yet the green light
comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to Dam-
aged Airbag Special Procedure.
•
During deployment, the airbag can become hot
enough to burn you, Wait thirty minutes after
deployment before touching the airbag.

Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be
reused. Place
it
in a sturdy plastic bag, and seal it
securely.
CAUTION:
•
Wear a face shield and gloves when handling a
deployed airbag.
• Wash your hands and rinse them well with
water after handling a deployed airbag.
