Required Special Tools:
- MB992102: Air Bag Inflation Adapter Harness

- If the vehicle is to be scrapped or otherwise disposed of, deploy the air bags and operate the seat belt pre-tensioners inside the vehicle. If the vehicle will continue to be used and only the air bag modules and seat belt pre-tensioner are to be disposed of, deploy the air bags and operate the seat belt pre-tensioners outside the vehicle.
- Since a large amount of smoke is produced when the air bag is deployed and the seat belt pre-tensioner is operated, avoid residential areas whenever possible.
- Since there is a loud noise when the air bags are deployed and when the seat belt pre-tensioners are operated, avoid residential areas whenever possible. If anyone is nearby, give warning of the impending noise.
- Suitable ear protection should be worn by personnel performing these procedures or by people in the immediate area.
