Scrapped Vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL and 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500E. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: An undeployed air bag module and/or ETR seat belt CANNOT be disposed of without first being deployed. If this is not possible through procedures outlined below, contact vehicle manufacturer for further instructions. Perform remote deployment outdoors. Keep all personnel at least 20 feet away.
  1. Before proceeding, follow service precautions. See SERVICE PRECAUTIONS  . Move vehicle outdoors to a remote area, away from workshop and other personnel. Disconnect and shield negative battery cable. Open all vehicle windows and doors. Ensure air bag module is secured to steering wheel, and passenger air bag (if equipped) is secured to dash. Ensure ETR seat belt assemblies are secured to "B" pillars and all seat belt buckles are latched. Remove loose objects from front seat. DO NOT  allow anyone inside vehicle.
  2. Locate and disconnect SRS Red connector. See SRS RED CONNECTOR LOCATION  table under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM. See Figure -5. Using Ignition Trigger Device (126-589-00-90-00), connect ignition trigger device connector to SRS Red connector. Move away from vehicle, as far as trigger device wiring will allow.
  3. To deploy air bags, turn rotary switch on trigger device to position No. 4. Depress both push buttons at same time. Air bag material should be visible in vehicle. Trigger device warning light in upper right corner of box should glow if SRS air bag ignited. If air bag material is not visible, but trigger device warning light glows, air bag module is faulty. See UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG/ETR  .
  4. To deploy ETR seat belt, turn rotary switch on trigger device to position No. 2. Depress both push buttons at same time. Trigger device warning light in upper right corner of box should glow if ETR seat belt ignited.
