WARNING:
A live (undeployed) air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt or lap pre-tensioner seat belt may accidentally operate (deploy) when it is disposed of and cause serious injury. Do not dispose of a live (undeployed) air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt or lap pre-tensioner seat belt. If the SSTs (Deployment tool and Adapter harness) are not available, consult the nearest Mazda representative for assistance.
The lap pre-tensioner seat belt may not have operated (deployed) even if the pre-tensioner seat belt has due to a vehicle collision. A live (non-deployed) pre-tensioner may accidentally operate (deploy) when it is disposed of and cause serious injury. When disposing of the front seat belt, verify that the pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt have operated (deployed).
CAUTION:
Deploying the air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts or lap pre-tensioner seat belts inside the vehicle may cause damage to the vehicle interior. When the vehicle is not to be scrapped, always deploy the air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts or lap pre-tensioner seat belts outside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is to be scrapped, or when disposing of any air bag modules, pre-tensioner seat belts or lap pre-tensioner seat belts, operate (deploy) them inside the vehicle by following the deployment procedure below and using the SST (Deployment tool).
When disposing of an operated (deployed) air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt and lap pre-tensioner seat belt, refer to “AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL PROCEDURES”.
1. Inspect the SST (Deployment tool). (See INSPECTION OF SST (DEPLOYMENT TOOL) [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)
2. Move the vehicle to an open space, away from strong winds, and close all of the vehicle doors and windows.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 1 min or more. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
5. Follow the procedure below for operating (deploying) the applicable air bag module, pre-tensioner seat belt or lap pre-tensioner seat belt.
NOTE:
The connector part of the air bag module and the SST (adapter wiring harness) burns out from the high heat when the inflator is operated (deployed).
WARNING:
The driver-side air bag module is a dual inflator type. If one inflator is forced to operate (deploy), the other may operate (deploy) accidentally. To prevent injury while disposing of the air bag module, make sure to operate (deploy) both driver-side air bag module inflators simultaneously, following the procedure below.
NOTE:
The SSTs, two types of adapter harnesses (for inflators No.1 and No.2) and two deployment tools are to be used to operate (deploy) the driver-side air bag module.
1. Remove the driver-side air bag module. (See DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [TWO-STEP DEPLOYMENT CONTROL SYSTEM].)
2. Connect the SST (Adapter harness) to the driver-side air bag module as shown in the figure.

WARNING:
Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury if the air bag module operates (deploy) unexpectedly. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step 8 again. If a total of two operation (explosive) sounds cannot be verified even though Step 8 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before approaching it again.
