FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY(for Super Long Slide Seat) 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

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 front seat airbag assembly LH, 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.

*b	CPA
	Slide in this Direction

Disconnect the airbag connector.

Note

When disconnecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

Push down the housing lock and slide the CPA. (At this time, the airbag connector cannot be disconnected yet.)
Push down the housing lock again and disconnect the airbag connector.

Note

Do not push down the upper part of the CPA shown in the illustration when disconnecting the airbag connector.

  CAUTION:
  
  Do not deploy if the front seat airbag assembly LH is loose.
  
  If deployed while the front seat airbag assembly LH is loose, the front seat airbag assembly LH may fly off and cause serious injuries.
  Note
  
  To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
2. *a 10 m or more
  
  Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front side window of the vehicle.
3. While maintaining sufficient clearance for the SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
  CAUTION:
  
  Do not deploy with all the doors and door windows open.
  
  If deployed with all the doors and door windows open, dust and gas may enter the eyes or be breathed in.
  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.
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 and deploy the airbag.
  CAUTION:
  
  Do not deploy with people inside or around the vehicle.
  
  If deployed with people inside or around the vehicle, serious injuries may occur.
  Tech Tips
  
  The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
Remove the front seat airbag assembly LH.

CAUTION:
- The front seat airbag assembly LH 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.
- Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- If water is applied to the front seat airbag assembly LH immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.
- Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed front seat airbag assembly LH.
- If the front seat airbag assembly LH is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.
- After removal, quickly seal the front seat airbag assembly LH in a plastic bag.
Dispose of the front seat airbag assembly LH.
1. Place the front seat airbag assembly LH in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.
  CAUTION:

*a	Wire Diameter
*b	Stripped Wire Section

Using braided wire, tie down the front seat airbag assembly LH to an unneeded tire.

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 front seat airbag assembly LH, 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

Install the 2 nuts to the front seat airbag assembly LH.
Wind the wires around the stud bolts of the front seat airbag assembly LH as shown in the illustration.

*a	Width
*b	Inner Diameter
*c	Deployment Side

Position the front seat airbag assembly LH inside the tire.

Minimum tire size
