tivated) seat belt pretensioners.
Also, when the seat belt pretensioners activate, gas is generated
and the seat belt (1) is retracted into the retractor assembly (2)

tensioners and other object(s) around them may be thrown
through the air.

• For handing and storage of air bag (inflator) module
and seat belt pretensioner, select place where ambient
temperature below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity
and away from electric noise.
• Always carry live air bag (inflator) module with trim
cover away from you.
• When storing live air bag (inflator) module or when
leaving live air bag (inflator) module unattended on
bench or other surface, always face trim cover up and

module must be placed with its trim cover facing up,
place it on workbench with slit (1) or use workbench
vise (2) to hold it securely at its lower mounting
bracket (3).
• This is necessary so that free space is provided to
allow air bag to expand in the unlikely event of acci-
dental deployment.

of seat belt pretensioner.
• When placing live seat belt pretensioner on workbench
or other surface, be sure not to put something on seat
