KNEE 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.

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    CAUTION:


    • Do not perform this procedure indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured. Also, do not deploy SRS parts near residential areas.

    • If this procedure is performed indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured, unforeseen injuries may occur. Also, the deployment noise creates a nuisance to nearby residents.

    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.

  2. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)

    Note


    • When disposing of the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly, use an unneeded vehicle to deploy the airbag.

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

    Tech Tips

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

      CAUTION:


      • B006NVH

        The No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

      • If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.

      • B006LTV

        Do not apply water etc. to a No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

      • If water is applied to the No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.

      • B006MVZ

        Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.

        • B006P4U

          Do not apply water etc. to a No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

        • If water is applied to the No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.

        • B006LBE

          Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.

        • If the No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.

        • B006N8P

          Never dispose of a No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with an undeployed airbag.

        • If an undeployed No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly is disposed of, and then deploys for any reason, unforeseen injuries may occur.

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

  3. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle)

    Note

      Wire
      Cross-sectional area of stripped wire
      1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more

      CAUTION:

      If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the lower No. 1 instrument panel 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 cross-sectional area of stripped wire:

      Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2/ 4


      1. Position the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
