CURTAIN SHIELD 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. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.

PROCEDURE


  1. 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.

    • Never dispose of a curtain shield 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 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.

    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.

  2. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)

    Note


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

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

    Tech Tips

    Prepare a 12 V battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

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

        SST
        09082-00700
        09082-00802   ( 09082-10801, 09082-20801 )

        Note

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

      2. A002223C05
        *a 12 V Battery
        *b 10 m (32.8 ft.) or more

        Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the rear side window of the vehicle.

      3. Maintaining sufficient 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.

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

    7. Deploy the airbag.


      1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.

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

        CAUTION:


        • Before deployment, 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

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

    Tech Tips

    Prepare a 12 V battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.


    1. A0022YCN08

      Check the function of SST.

      Click here

      SST
      09082-00700

    2. Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly.

      Click here

      CAUTION:


      • Before removing the curtain shield airbag assembly, wait at least 90 seconds after turning the power switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

      • When storing the curtain shield airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.

    3. A00230X

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

    4. A0023APC16
      *a Wire Diameter
      *b Stripped Wire Cross Sectional Area

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

      Wire
      Stripped wire cross sectional area
      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 snap when the airbag 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 cross sectional area of the stripped wire:

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


      1. A0020L3C01
        *a Width
        *b Inner Diameter

        Position the curtain shield airbag assembly inside the tire as shown in the illustration.

        Minimum Tire Size
        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 curtain shield airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.

        Note

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

    5. Install SST.


      1. A0020BFN01

        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 face the deployment side of the curtain shield airbag assembly toward the ground.


      1. A0021BTC03
        *a Tires (2 or more)
        *b Inner Diameter

        Minimum Tire Size
        Width
        185 mm (7.28 in.)
        Inner Diameter
        360 mm (1.18 ft.)

        Note

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

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

        Note

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

      3. A0020N0

        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 airbag is deployed.

        Connect the SST connector.

        SST
        09082-00700

        Note

        To avoid damaging the SST connector or 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 (32.8 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 (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire to which the curtain shield airbag assembly is tied.

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

        CAUTION:

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

        Tech Tips

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

    9. 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.
