CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
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.
Tech Tips
When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a seat belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), always deploy the procedures described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the service dept. of the distributor.
PROCEDURE
DISPOSE OF REAR SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)
CAUTION:
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a seat belt with a deployed pretensioner.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a seat belt with a deployed pretensioner.
When deploying a seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical interference.
Note
When disposing of a seat belt with a pretensioner, never deploy the pretensioner in the customer's vehicle.
Never dispose of a seat belt with a pretensioner that has not been deployed.
The seat belt produces an exploding sound when the pretensioner deploys, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb local residents.
When deploying a seat belt pretensioner, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the seat belt.
Be sure to follow the procedure listed below when deploying a seat belt pretensioner.

Note
Tape the screwdriver tip before use.
Connect SST.
Connect 2 SST, and then connect them to the rear seat outer belt pretensioner.
Note
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the pretensioner connector.
| *a | 10 m or more |
Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the rear of the vehicle.
Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
Note
Do not damage the SST wire harness.
Deploy the rear seat outer belt pretensioner.
Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.
