CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any pop up hood lifter, 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.
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
An airbag or pretensioner may be activated 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.
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.
Tech Tips
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH assembly, be sure to deploy the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH deployment, contact the Service Dept. of the distributor.
DISPOSE OF NO. 2 POP UP HOOD LIFTER ASSEMBLY LH (When Installed in Vehicle)

Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
Tech Tips
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
Check the function of SST.
Refer to Precaution.
Remove the No. 2 deck board.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.
Remove the radiator support to frame seal RH.
Remove the radiator support to frame seal LH.
Remove the lower radiator air deflector.
Remove the front fender reinforcement top sub-assembly LH.

Note
To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
CAUTION:
Do not deploy if the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is loose.
If deployed while the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is loose, the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH may fly off and cause serious injuries.
| *a | 10 m (32.8 ft.) or more |
Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the engine compartment of the vehicle.
Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Close the engine hood.
CAUTION:
Check that the engine hood is locked.
Deploy the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
Press the SST activation switch to deploy the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
CAUTION:
Do not deploy with people inside or around the vehicle.
If deployed with people inside or around the vehicle, serious injuries may occur.
Tech Tips
The No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
Remove the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
CAUTION:
The No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH becomes extremely hot when the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH 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.
Do not apply water etc. to a No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH with a deployed No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
If water is applied to the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
If the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.
After removal, quickly seal the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH in a plastic bag.
Place the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH in a plastic bag, tie it tightly, and dispose of it according to local regulations.

Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
DISPOSE OF NO. 2 POP UP HOOD LIFTER ASSEMBLY LH (When not Installed in Vehicle)
Note
Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
Tech Tips
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
Check the function of SST.
Remove the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

| *a | Wire Diameter |
| *b | Stripped Wire Cross Sectional Area |
Using braided wire, tie down the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH 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 No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH, it may snap when the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH 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 area of the cross-sectional area of stripped wire:
Cross sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2/ 4
| *a | Width |
| *b | Inner Diameter |
| *c | extended section |
Position the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH inside the tire as shown in the illustration.
| Minimum tire size |
|---|
| Must exceed the following dimensions |
| Width |
| 185 mm (7.28 in.) |
| Inner diameter |
| 360 mm (1.18 ft.) |
Note
The tire may be damaged by the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH deployment, so use unneeded tire.
Tech Tips
Through the wire to pop up hood lifter installation hole.
Install SST.
Connect the SST connector to the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
Place the tires.
| *a | Tires (2 or more) |
Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is tied.
Place at least 2 tires onto the tire to which the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is tied. The top tire should have a wheel installed.
Note
Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
The wheel and tires may be damaged by the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH deployment, so use an unneeded wheel and tires.
Tie the tires together with 2 wires.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires will result in the tires breaking loose when the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is deployed.
Install SST.
| *a | 10 m (32.8 ft.) or more |

Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH tied down to the tire.
Deploy the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire to which the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH is tied.
Press the SST activation switch to deploy the No. 2 pop up hood lifter assembly LH.
CAUTION:
Do not deploy with people around the tire.
If deployed with people around the tire, serious injuries may occur.
