FRONT PASSENGER 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. Predisposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.

Tech Tips

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of a steering pad, deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of the DISTRIBUTOR.

CAUTION:

An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
Never dispose of a instrument panel passenger airbag assembly that has an undeployed airbag.
The airbag produces an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors and where it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.
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 (33 ft.) away from the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly.
The instrument panel passenger 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 instrument panel passenger airbag assembly a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a instrument panel passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

    Note
    
    To avoid damaging SST connector and the wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
    
    At this time, do not connect SST to the instrument panel wire actuator side.
  3. Check that the lock slider is in the lock position.
  4. Connect SST connector.
    
    Note
    
    Take care not to damage SST wire harness.
  5. Close all doors.

    *1 Battery
    
    Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the vehicle front side window.
5. Deploy the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly inflator.
  1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
  2. Press SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
    CAUTION:
    
    When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
    
    The instrument panel passenger 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 instrument panel passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    
    Do not apply water, etc. to a instrument panel passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    
    Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
    Tech Tips
    
    The airbag is deployed as the LED of SST activation switch comes on.

*a	Stripped Wire Harness Section

Using a braided wire harness, tie the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly to a tire.

Stripped wire harness section

Area	Measurement
A	1.25 mm²or more (0.00192 in.²or more)

CAUTION:

If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness 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 harness section:

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

Position the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly inside a tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

Tire size

Area	Measurement
A	360 mm (14.17 in.)
B	185 mm (7.28 in.)

CAUTION:

Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is slack in the wire harnesses, the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
Always tie down the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.

Note

The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a waste tire.

Place tires.

Text in Illustration

*1 Tires (2 or more)
1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly is tied to.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly is tied to. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.
  Note
  - Do not place SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
  - As the disc wheel will be marked by the airbag deployment, use a waste disc wheel.
  - As the tires will be marked by the airbag deployment, use waste tires.
3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
  
  CAUTION:
  
  Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. Looseness in the wire harnesses results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
Install SST.
