Curtain Air Bag Module Deployment Inside The Vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Move the vehicle to flat and isolated spot.
    CAUTION: Disconnect the battery cable connection, and wait for 60 seconds or more before starting the work.
  2. Disconnect the (-) and (+) terminals of battery cable, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.
  3. Remove the headlining (Refer to HEADLINING ).
  4. Use the flat-tipped screwdriver to pull out the locking button of curtain air bag harness connector. After releasing the lock, disconnect the connector.
    NOTE: When the curtain air bag module connector is disconnected from the inflator, the two pins of inflator connector are automatically shorted. This prevents the unintentional deployment of curtain air bags caused by the static or others.

    WARNING: If the glass is scratched, the glass may be shattered at deployment. Therefore, cover with a vehicle cover to avoid danger.

    CAUTION:
    • Make sure that no one is present inside or near the vehicle before deploying the air bag.
    • Immediately after the air bag deployment, the inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before handling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more to cool.
    • If the air bag module does not deploy, consult with your distributor.
