Deployment Inside The Vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Kia Spectra5, 2005 Kia Spectra, and 2004 Kia Spectra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WHEN VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER BE DRIVEN: 

  1. Open all windows and doors of the vehicle. Move the vehicle to an isolated spot.
  2. Disconnect the negative (-) and positive (+) battery cables from the battery terminals, and then remove the battery from the vehicle
    CAUTION: Wait at least 30 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before doing any further work.
  3. Remove the center crash pad side cover.
  4. Remove the Airbag SRSCM connector.
  5. Connect the deployment tool to the connector of each module.
  6. As far away from the vehicle as possible, press the push button on the deployment tool to deploy the airbag.
    CAUTION:
    • Before deploying the airbag in this manner, first check to be sure that there is no one in or near the vehicle. Wear safety glasses.
    • The inflator will be quite hot immediately following the deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it to cool before attempting to handle it. Although not poisonous, do not inhale gas from airbag deployment. See the DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES  for post-deployment handling instructions.
    • If the airbag fails to deploy when the procedures above are followed, do not go near the module. Contact your DPSM.
