for Preparation Click here


CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.

HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the front seat airbag assembly, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the Service Dept. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:
  1. An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
  2. Never dispose of a front seat side airbag assembly that has an undeployed airbag.
  3. The airbag emits an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors, and where it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.

  4. B104819E01
    When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.
  5. When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front seat side airbag assembly.
  6. The front seat side airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
  7. Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat side airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
  8. Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat side airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
  9. Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

    CAUTION:
    Do not use a wire harness that is too thin or any other object to tie the curtain shield airbag assembly because it may snap due to the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with a cross section of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).

    HINT:
    To calculate the area of the stripped wire section:
    Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4
