KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY(for Front Passenger Side) 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 procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.

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.

      CAUTION:


      • B000Z5K

        The lower No. 2 instrument panel 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.

      • B000UV4

        Do not apply water etc. to a lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

      • If water is applied to the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.

      • B000X1Y

        Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag assembly.

      • If the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag assembly is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.

      *a Wire Diameter
      *b Stripped Wire Cross Sectional Area

      Using braided wire, tie down the lower No. 2 instrument panel 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 is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the lower No. 2 instrument panel 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
