Seat Belt Pre-TENSIONER And Lap Pre-TENSIONER Deployment Outside 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.
CAUTION:
- Deploy the seat belt pre-tensioner and lap pre-tensioner in the wide open, flat place with a distance of 6 m (20 feet) or more from obstacles and people.
- When deploying in the open space, do not deploy when the strong wind is blowing. Even with a slight breeze, ignite at the windward of the seat belt pre-tensioner and lap pre-tensioner.
CAUTION:
Before starting the work, wait for 60 seconds or more after the disconnection of the battery cable. (Refer to the item 5
of SERVICE PRECAUTIONS ).
- Disconnect the (-) and (+) terminals of battery cable, and then remove the battery from the vehicle.CAUTION: When the connector is disconnected, the two pins of seat belt pre-tensioner and lap pre-tensioner are automatically shorted to prevent the unintentional deployment caused by the static or others.
- Remove the seat belt with pre-tensioner from the vehicle (Refer to SEAT BELTS WITH PRE-TENSIONER ).
- Connect the deployment wires of 6 m (20 feet) or more to each of the two wiring harnesses of special tool adapter harness (MB991885), and cover the connection areas with insulation tape. Keep the other ends of deployment wires connected to each other (shorted).NOTE: This prevents the unintentional deployment of seat belt pre-tensioner and lap pre-tensioner caused by the static or others.
- Pass a thick wire through the seat belt pre-tensioner and lap pre-tensioner bracket hole, and attach it to the old tire with wheel.
- Connect the adapter harness to the seat belt pre-tensioner connector. (Retractor side)
- Connect the adapter harness to the lap pre-tensioner connector (Lap pre-tensioner).CAUTION: Set so that the connector of pre-tensioner adapter harness does not get pinched between the tires when deployed.
- Pull out the seat belt to outside the tire.
- Place an old tire without wheel onto the seat belt with pre-tensioner.

CAUTION:- Make sure that no one is present near the seat belt with pre-tensioner before the deployment.
- Immediately after the seat belt pre-tensioner deployment, the inflator is extremely hot. Thus, before handling, leave the inflator for 30 minutes or more to cool.
- If the seat belt pre-tensioner and lap pre-tensioner does not deploy, consult with your distributor.
- Disconnect the deployment wire connection at a place as far as possible from the seat belt with pre-tensioner. Then, connect the wires to the removed vehicle battery to deploy the seat belt pre-tensioner or lap pre-tensioner.
- Discard the deployed seat belt with pre-tensioner according to the disposal procedures (Refer to SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES ).
