CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

CAUTION:

Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.


  1. PRECAUTION

    Tech Tips

    When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, be sure to 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 your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.

    • Never dispose of a curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly.

    • The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

    • Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

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

  2. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

    Tech Tips

    Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

        09082-00802   ( 09082-10801, 09082-20801 )

        Note

        To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

      3. A015ZTSE01

        Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the vehicle rear side window.

      4. Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire harness in the rear side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

        Note

        Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

      5. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

    6. Deploy the airbag.


      1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the vehicle.

      2. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:


        • When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.

        • The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

        • Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield 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 the SST activation switch comes on.

  3. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

    Note


    • When disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.

    • Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

    Tech Tips

    Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.


    1. A016387E06

      Check the function of SST Click here.

    2. Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly Click here.

      CAUTION:

      When removing the curtain shield airbag assembly, work must be started at least 90 seconds after the engine switch is turned off and the negative (-) battery terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.

    3. A0162VA

      Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag assembly.

    4. A01622RE16

      Using braided wire, tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly to an unneeded tire.

      Wire
      Stripped wire section
      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 curtain shield airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2(0.0019 in.2).

      Tech Tips

      To calculate the area of the stripped wire section:

      Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2divided by 4


      1. A0163ABE01

        Position the curtain shield airbag assembly 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 (14.2 in.)

        CAUTION:

        Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the curtain shield airbag assembly may break loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

        Note

        The tire may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.

    5. Install SST.


      1. A015ZP4E01

        After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the curtain shield airbag assembly.

        SST
        09082-00802   ( 09082-10801, 09082-20801 )

    6. Place the tires.

      CAUTION:

      Do not place the deployment direction of the curtain shield airbag assembly facing toward the ground.


      1. A0160EFE01

        Place at least 2 tires under the tire tied to the curtain shield airbag assembly.

      2. Place at least 2 tires onto the tire tied to the curtain shield airbag assembly. The top tire should have a wheel installed.

        Note

        Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

      3. A016160

        Tie the tires together with the 2 wires.

        CAUTION:

        Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires results in the tires breaking loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

    7. Install SST.


      1. A0161S6E02

        Connect the SST connector.

        SST
        09082-00700

        Note

        To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.

      2. Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the tire.

    8. Deploy the airbag.


      1. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

      2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the tire which the curtain shield airbag assembly is tied to.

      3. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:

        When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the tire.

        Tech Tips

        The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

    9. A015YOG

      Dispose of the curtain shield airbag assembly.

      CAUTION:


      • The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
