Remote Deployment

  1. WARNING:
    • Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    • Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover or deployment door pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    • Remote deployment is to be carried out outdoors with all personnel at least 6.1 meters (20 feet) away to ensure personal safety. Due to the loud report which occurs when the air bag is deployed, hearing protection is required. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    • Do not place the driver or passenger air bag module with the trim cover or deployment door facing down, as the forces of the deploying air bag can cause it to ricochet and cause personal injury. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

    Equipment required: Universal deployment tool-Part N° 418-135 and 12V Battery.

  2. The deployment procedure should be carried out outdoors away from other personnel.
  3. Remove any loose debris from around air bag. Make sure that no flammable liquids are present.
  4. Disconnect the battery ground and positive cables.
  5. Disconnect the relevant air bag module electrical connector.
  6. Connect the appropriate adaptor lead to the restraint device.
  7. Connect the deployment lead to the adaptor lead. Pass wire of the deployment tool through window, close all doors, leave window with lead for deployment tool open.
  8. WARNING: Before proceeding, make sure precautions have been taken to warn personnel of a possible loud noise upon activation. Do not allow anybody to approach closer to restraint device than six meters. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

    Move as far from restraint device as possible and connect the tool clips to a 12V vehicle battery.

  9. WARNING: Do not handle the deployed device immediately after activation - it may be hot. Allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes. Cooling modules should be continuously monitored to make sure heat does not create a fire with spilled liquids or other debris. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

    Deploy the module by depressing both switches on the tool. If activation does not occur, disconnect battery from tool and seek advise from Jaguar Engineering and wait for further instructions.

  10. Repeat procedure for all air bags in vehicle.
  11. The vehicle is now to be scrapped in the normal manner with modules installed.
