SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

HANDLING AND STORAGE
NOTE:
Whether the pretensioner has activated or not can be judged
by the sealing tape attached on retractor assembly. If it has
been torn by generated gas, the pretensioner has activated.
LIVE (INACTIVATED) SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the pretension-
er. It is very dangerous as the electric current from the tester
may activate the pretensioner.
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (inacti-
vated) pretensioner.
Also, when the seat belt pretensioners activate, gas is generated
and the seat belt is retracted into the retractor quickly. Note, there-
fore, that if they activate accidentally, the seat belt pretensioners
and other object(s) around them may be thrown through the air.
Never attempt disassembly of the seat belt pretensioner (retrac-
tor 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 (inactivated)
seat belt pretensioner, be sure to activate it before discarding it.
(Refer to "Seat Belt Pretensioners Disposal" in SECTION 10B.)
When grease, cleaning agent, oil water, etc., got on the seat belt
pretensioner (retractor assembly), wipe it off immediately with a
dry cloth.
If seat belt pretensioner (retractor assembly) was dropped from
a height of 30 cm (1 ft) or more, it should be replaced.
