FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

CAUTION:

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 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 dept. of the distributor.


  1. DISPOSE OF FRONT 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.

    • When disposing of a seat belt with a pretensioner, never deploy the pretensioner in the customer's vehicle.

    Note


    • 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.
