10. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
• If the green light on the tool comes on, the igniter
circuit is defective and cannot deploy the
component. Go to Disposal of Damaged
Components.
• If the red light on the tool comes on, the
component is ready to be deployed.
11. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbags and
tensioners should deploy (deployment is both
highly audible and visible: a loud noise and rapid
inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflation).
• If the components deploy and the green light on
the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
If a component doesn't deploy, yet the green
light
comes on, its
igniter is defective. Go to
Disposal of Damaged components.
During deployment, the airbags can become hot
enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbags.
12. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be
reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A), and seal
it securely.
