5. Disconnect the security system wiring connector.
6. Connect the SMD 4082/5 wire harness to the steering wheel security system connector.
7. Connect the SMD 4082/5 wire harness to the SMD 4082/1 blasting equipment.
Caution: Make sure the airbag module is securely attached to the steering wheel.
8. Connect power to the blasting equipment. Caution: Personnel must be at least 15 meters away from the vehicle.
9. Press both buttons of the detonation equipment.
10. Do not approach the pillow module for 30 minutes.
11. Put on protective gloves and a mask, remove the pillow module and place it in a plastic bag.
