Disposal

HINT: When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing of the side airbag assembly always first deploy the airbag 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:

• Never dispose of a side airbag assembly of which airbag has not been deployed.
• The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation out-ofdoors and where it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.

• When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool), perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.

  SST 09082-00700

• When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the airbag assembly.
• The side airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
• Use gloves and safety glasses when handling side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
• Do not apply water, etc. to a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.

1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VEHICLE

HINT: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.

(a) Check the function of the SST (See step 1-(a) on page RS-20 ).

SST 09082-00700

(b) Disconnect the side airbag connector.

NOTICE: When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

(c) Install the SST.

1.  Connect the connectors of the SST to the airbag connector.

SST 09082-00700, 09082-00750

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

2. Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front of the vehicle.
3.  Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.

NOTICE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

4.  Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.

(d) Deploy the airbag.

1.  Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10 m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
2.  Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:

• The side airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
• Use gloves and safety glasses when handling the side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
• Do not apply water, etc. to the side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
• When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the side airbag assembly still installed.

HINT: The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: When disposing of the side airbag assembly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.

Be sure to follow the procedure given below when deploying the airbag. HINT: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.

(a) Remove the 2 nuts and side airbag assembly from the seatback assembly, then disengage the clamps.

CAUTION: When storing the side airbag assembly, keep the upper surface of the airbag deployment side facing upward.

(b) Using a service-purpose wire harness, tie down the side airbag assembly to the tire.

Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section 1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in2. or more)

CAUTION: If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is used to tie down the side airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use which is at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in2.).

HINT: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section- Square = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

1. Install the 2 nuts to the side airbag assembly.

2. Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of the side airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.

3. Position the side airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment direction facing inside.

Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions- Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.) Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)

CAUTION:

• Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous when a loose wire harness results in the side airbag assembly coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
• Always tie down the side airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

NOTICE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so when disposing of the airbag, use a redundant tire.

(c) Check the function of the SST (See step 1-(a) on page RS-20 ).

SST 09082-00700

(d) Place the tires.

1.  Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the side airbag assembly is tied.
2.  Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the side airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the wheel installed.

3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.

CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is very dangerous when loose wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock from the airbag deployment.

HINT: Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Secure at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.

(e) Install the SST.

Connect the connectors of the SST to the side airbag assembly connector.

SST 09082-00700, 09082-00750

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.

(f) Deploy the airbag.

1.  Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2.  Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around the tire which the side airbag assembly is tied to.
3.  Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

HINT: The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

(g) Dispose of the side airbag assembly.

CAUTION:

• The side airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
• Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
• Do not apply water etc. to a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

1.  Remove the side airbag assembly from the tire.
2.  Place the side airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it as the other general parts disposal.

3. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN COLLISION

Dispose of the side airbag assembly.

CAUTION:

• The side airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
• Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
• Do not apply water etc. to a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

1.  Remove the side airbag assembly from the seat (BO-105 and see step 2. on page RS-48 ).
2.  Place the side airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it as the other general parts disposal.
