Deployment Procedures For Outside of Vehicle

AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES

WARNING: A live (undeployed) air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt may accidentally deploy when it is disposed of and cause serious injury. Do not dispose of a live (undeployed) air bag module. If the SSTs (Deployment tool and Adapter harness) are not available, consult the nearest Mazda representative for assistance.

CAUTION:
- Deploying the air bag modules Inside the vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle interior. When the vehicle is not to be scrapped, always deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts outside the vehicle.
- When the vehicle is to be scrapped, deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts inside the vehicle.
- When the vehicle is not to be scrapped, deploy the air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts outside the vehicle.

NOTE: When disposing of a deployed air bag module, refer to air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt disposal procedure.

Deployment Procedure for Outside of Vehicle
1. Inspect the SST (Deployment tool).
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK position.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for more than 1 minute.
4. Follow the appropriate procedure for deploying the driver-side air bag module, passenger-side air bag module, or side air bag module.

Driver-side air bag module
1. Remove the driver-side air bag module.

2. For the 4-spoke type, install the bolts to the driver-side air bag module.

WARNING: If the air bag module is not properly installed to the wheel, serious injury may occur when the module is deployed. When installing the air bag module to the wheel, make sure the module is facing up.

3. Place the driver-side air bag module on the center of the wheel with the module facing up. See the illustration.

- To secure the 4-spoke type air bag module to the wheel, wrap the wire harness through the wheel and around the bolt at least 4 times.

- To secure the 3-spoke type air bag module to the wheel, wrap the wire harness through the wheel and the bolt installation hole at least 4 times.

4. Connect the SST (Adapter harness) to the driver- side air bag module as shown in the figure.

5. Stack 3 tires on top of the tire with the air bag module. Stack another tire that has a wheel on top of the 4 tires.

6. Tie all tires together with wire.

7. Connect the SST (Deployment tool) to the SST (Adapter harness).
8. Connect the red clip of the SST (Deployment tool) to the positive battery terminal and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
9. Verify that the red light on the SST (Deployment tool) is illuminated.
10. Make sure all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft} away from the tires.

11. Press the activation switch on the SST (Deployment tool) to deploy the driver-side air bag module.

Passenger-side air bag module
1. Remove the passenger-side air bag module.

2. Install the bolts to the passenger-side air bag module.

WARNING: If the air bag module is not properly installed to the tire, serious injury may occur when the module is deployed. When Installing the air bag module to the tire, make sure the module is facing the center of the tire.

3. Tie the passenger-side air bag module to a tire with the module facing the center of the tire. Wrap the wire harness through the tire and around the bolts at least four times.

4. Connect the SST (Adapter harness) to the passenger-side air bag module as shown in the figure.

5. Stack the tire with the passenger-side air bag module on top of 2 tires. Stack a tire on top of the 3 tires. Stack another tire that has a wheel on top of the tires.

6. Tie all tires together with wire.

11. Press the activation switch on the SST (Deployment tool) to deploy the passenger-side air bag module.

Side air bag module
1. Remove the side air bag module.

2. Install the nuts to the side air bag module.

WARNING: If the air bag module is not properly installed to the tire, serious injury may occur when the module is deployed. When installing the air bag module to the tire, make sure the module is facing the center of the tire.

3. Tie the side air bag module to the tire with the module facing the center of the tire. Wrap the wire harness through the tire and around the nuts at least 4 times.

4. Connect the SST (Adapter harness) to the side air bag module as shown in the figure.

5. Stack the tire with the side air bag module on top of 2 tires. Stack a tire on top of 3 tires. Stack another tire that has a wheel on top of the 4 tires.

6. Tie all tires together with wire.

11. Press the activation switch on the SST (Deployment tool) to deploy the side air bag module.

Pre-tensioner seat belt
1. Remove the pre-tensioner seat belt.

2. Connect the SST (49 D066 003) to the pretensioner seat belt as shown in the figure.

WARNING: If the pre-tensioner seat belt is not properly installed to the tire, serious injury may occur when the pre-tens loner part is deployed. When installing the pretensioner seat belt to the tire, make sure the pre-tensioner part is inside the tire.

3. With the pre-tensioner part inside the tire, tie the pre-tensioner seat belt to the tire. Wrap the wire harness through the tire and around the pre- tensioner seat belt at least four times.

4. Stack the tire with the pretensioner seat belt on top of two tires. Stack a tire on top of the three tires. Stack another tire that has a wheel on top of the tour tires.

5. Tie all tires together with wire.

6. Connect the SST (49 H066 002) to the SST (49 D066 003).
7. Connect the red clip of the SST (49 H066 002) to the positive battery terminal and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
8. Verity that the red light on the SST (49 H066 002) is illuminated.
9. Make sure all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft} from the vehicle.

10. Press the activation switch on the SST (49 H066 002) to deploy the pre-tensioner seat belt.
