FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

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

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedures for the driver and front passenger sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the driver side.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    CAUTION:


    • Do not perform this procedure indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured. Also, do not deploy SRS parts near residential areas.

    • If this procedure is performed indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured, unforeseen injuries may occur. Also, the deployment noise creates a nuisance to nearby residents.

      B002ENQ

    Tech Tips

    When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the horn button 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 Department of the distributor.

  2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)

    Note


    • When disposing of the rear seat airbag assembly, use an unneeded vehicle to deploy the airbag.

    • Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

    Tech Tips

    Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:


        • B002D2F

          Do not deploy if the front seat airbag assembly is loose.

        • If deployed while the front seat airbag assembly is loose, the front seat airbag assembly may fly off and cause serious injuries.

        Note

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

      2. B002CJJC02
        *a 10 m or more

        Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front side window of the vehicle.

      3. While maintaining sufficient clearance for the SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

        CAUTION:


        • Do not deploy with all the doors and door windows open.

        • If deployed with all the doors and door windows open, dust and gas may enter the eyes or be breathed in.

        B002CMV

        Note

        Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

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

    6. Deploy the airbag.


      1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.

      2. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:


        • Do not deploy with people inside or around the vehicle.

        • If deployed with people inside or around the vehicle, serious injuries may occur.

        B002D7Q

        Tech Tips

      CAUTION:


      • B002D4B

        The front seat airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

      • If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.

      • B002DUI

        Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

      • If water is applied to the front seat airbag assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.

      • B002EYT

        Always wear protective glasses and gloves when handling a deployed front seat airbag assembly.

      • If the front seat airbag assembly is touched without wearing protective glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.

      • After removal, quickly seal the front seat airbag assembly in a plastic bag.

    8. Dispose of the front seat airbag assembly.


      1. Place the front seat airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.

        CAUTION:


        • B002E98

          The front seat airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

        • If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.

        • B002EZT

          Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

        • B002CP2

          Always wear protective glasses and gloves when handling a deployed front seat airbag assembly.

        • If the front seat airbag assembly is touched without wearing protective glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.

        • B002DUT

          Never dispose of a front seat airbag assembly with an undeployed airbag.

        • If an undeployed front seat airbag assembly is disposed of, and then deploys for any reason, unforeseen injuries may occur.

        Note

        Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

  3. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle)

    Note

    3. B002EXBC28
      *a Wire Diameter
      *b Stripped Wire Section

      Using braided wire, tie down the front seat airbag assembly to an unneeded tire.

      Wire
      Cross-sectional area of stripped wire
      1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more

      CAUTION:

      If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the front seat airbag assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2(0.0019 in.2).

      Tech Tips

      To calculate the area of the cross-sectional area of stripped wire:

      Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2/ 4
