FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

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.


  1. PRECAUTION

    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 front passenger airbag assembly with 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 (32.8 ft.) away from the front passenger airbag assembly.

    • The front 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 front passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

    • Do not apply water etc. to a front passenger 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 lower No. 1 instrument panel 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:


        • Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.

        • The front 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 front passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

        • Do not apply water etc. to a front 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.

  3. DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle)

    Note

    Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

    Tech Tips

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


    1. A01GWYPE06

      Check the function of SST Click here.

      *a Stripped Wire Section
      *b Wire Diameter

      Using braided wire, tie down the front passenger 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 front passenger airbag assembly, it may snap 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 harness section:

      Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2/ 4


      1. Position the front passenger airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

        Minimum tire size
        Must exceed the following dimensions
        Width
        185 mm (7.28 in.)
        Inner diameter
        360 mm (1.18 ft.)

        CAUTION:


        • Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the front passenger airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.

        • Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire as shown in the illustration.

        Note

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

    6. A01GYX8E06

      Place the tires.

      Text in Illustration
      *1 Tires (2 or more)

      1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied.

      2. Place at least 2 tires onto the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have a wheel installed.

        Note


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

        • The tires and wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use unneeded tires and wheel.

      3. A01GWC2

        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 when the airbag is deployed.
