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.

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.

    • B00711G

      Never dispose of a front seat airbag assembly 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.

      B006XGB

    • 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 airbag assembly.

    • 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.

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

    • Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assembly 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 airbag assembly, 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.

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

    3. B006Y32C16
      *a Wire Diameter
      *b Stripped Wire Cross Sectional Area

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

      Wire
      Stripped Wire Cross Sectional Area
      1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more

      CAUTION:

      If the wire 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 a cross sectional area of at least 1.25 mm2(0.0019 in.2).

      Tech Tips

      To calculate the cross sectional area of the stripped wire:

      Cross sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2/ 4


      1. B006XKR

        Install the 2 nuts to the front seat airbag assembly.

      2. B00716F

        Wind 2 or more wires around the stud bolts of the front seat airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.

      3. B006X5TC01
        *a Width
