SRS SEAT CUSHION 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    CAUTION:


    • An airbag or pretensioner may be accidentally deployed by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.

    • B005QDL

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

    • The airbag produces an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb nearby residents.

      B005PP6

    • When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.

    • When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH.

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

    • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat cushion airbag assembly RH with a deployed airbag.

    • Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat cushion airbag assembly RH with a deployed airbag.

    • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

    Tech Tips

    When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the following procedure. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the Service Department of the distributor.
