10B-66 AIR BAG SYSTEM
WARNING:
When placing a live air bag (inflator) module on bench or
other surface, always face the bag up, away from the sur-
face. The front seat back with the live side air bag (infla-
tor) module must be placed with its frontal seat cover
facing up.
It is also prohibited to place anything on top of the trim
cover and stack air bag (inflator) modules.
This is necessary so that a free space is provided to
allow the air bag to expand in the unlikely event of acci-
dental deployment.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
LIVE (INACTIVATED) SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (inac-
tivated) seat belt pretensioners.
Also, when the seat belt pretensioners activate, gas is generated
and the seat belt (1) is retracted into the retractor assembly (2)
quickly.
Note, therefore, that if they activate accidentally, the seat belt pre-
tensioners and other object(s) around them may be thrown
through the air.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the seat belt
pretensioners. It is very dangerous as the electric current
from the tester may activate pretensioner.
• Never attempt to disassemble the seat belt pretensioners
(retractor assembly).
• If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with new
one as an assembly.
• When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live (inacti-
vated) seat belt pretensioner, be sure to activate it before
discarding it.
• When grease, cleaning agent oil, water, etc., got on the seat
belt pretensioners (retractor assembly), wipe it off immedi-
ately with a dry cloth.
• If seat belt pretensioner was dropped from a height of 30 cm
(1 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a new one as an
assembly.
