DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER ASSEMBLY LH
HINT:

Prepare a battery for power activation of the seat belt pretensioner.
NOTE:
- When disposing of the front seat outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner) only, never use the customer's vehicle to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
- Be sure to follow the procedures listed below before activating the seat belt pretensioner.
1. Remove the front seat outer belt assembly.
  1. Wind the seat belt with the retractor
  2. When the seat belt is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt approximately 100 mm (3.93 in.) from the retractor, as shown in the illustration.
    HINT:
    
    The seat belt is designed so that winding the seat belt as much as possible before pretensioner activation will decrease the pulling power of the seat belt during pretensioner activation.
