CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
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 seat belt pretensioner first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the SERVICE DEPARTMENT of the distributor.
PROCEDURE
DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)
CAUTION:
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with a deployed pretensioner.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt with a deployed pretensioner.
When deploying the 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 front seat outer belt with a pretensioner, never deploy the pretensioner in the customer's vehicle.
Never dispose of a front seat outer belt assembly with a pretensioner that has not been deployed.
The seat belt pretensioner produces an exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb local residents.
When deploying a front seat outer belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the front seat outer belt.
Be sure to follow the procedure listed below when deploying the seat belt pretensioner.
Check the function of SST.
CAUTION:
When deploying the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST.
| *1 | Battery |
Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.
Tech Tips
At this time, do not connect the yellow connector. It will be connected to the seat belt pretensioner in a later step.
Press the SST deployment switch and check that the LED of the SST deployment switch illuminates.
CAUTION:
If the LED is illuminated when the deployment switch is not pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. In this case, do not use the malfunctioning SST.
Disconnect the front seat outer belt pretensioner connector.
Disconnect the cable from the auxiliary negative (-) battery terminal.
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
Remove the lower center pillar garnish.
Connect the floor anchor of the front seat outer belt assembly with the bolt.
| *1 | Protective Tape |
| *2 | Locking Button |
Using a screwdriver, pull out the locking button in the direction shown by the arrow in the illustration to release the lock, and disconnect the pretensioner connector as shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
Tape the screwdriver tip before use.
Connect SST.
Connect 2 SST, and then connect them to the front 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 front of the vehicle.
Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
Note
Do not damage the SST wire harness.
Deploy the front 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.
Press the SST deployment switch to deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioner.
Tech Tips
The seat belt pretensioner will deploy at the same time as the LED of SST illuminates.
Dispose of the front seat outer belt assembly.
Remove the front seat outer belt assembly and SST.
Place the front seat outer belt in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly, and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
CAUTION:
The front seat outer belt becomes very hot when the front seat outer belt pretensioner is deployed, so leave it untouched for at least 30 minutes after it has been deployed.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with a pretensioner that has been deployed.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt assembly with a pretensioner that has been deployed.
Tech Tips
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioners, and then scrap the vehicle with the deployed outer belt installed.

CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
Remove the front seat outer belt assembly.
| *a | Cut |
| *b | 100 mm |
Wind the seat belt webbing with the retractor.
When the seat belt webbing is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt webbing approximately 100 mm (3.94 in.) from the retractor as shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
The retractor resistance increases in correlation with how much the seat belt webbing is wound.
Connect SST.
Connect 2 SST, and then connect them to the front seat outer belt pretensioner.
Note
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the pretensioner connector.
Place the front seat outer belt on the ground and cover it with a tire and wheel assembly.
Note
Position the front seat outer belt assembly as shown in the illustration.
Use a scrap tire and wheel assembly when disposing of a seat belt pretensioner.
Position and hold SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the wheel.
Note
Do not damage the SST wire harness.
| *a | 10 m or more |
Deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioner.
Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the wheel.
Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (-) terminal.
