FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

Tech Tips

When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a front seat outer belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), always deploy the procedures described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the service dept. of the distributor.

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
- 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.
1. 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.
  2. 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.
2. Connect SST.
  1. 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.
  3. Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
    
    Note
    
    Do not damage the SST wire harness.
3. Deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioner.
  1. Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
  2. Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.
  3. 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.
4. Dispose of the front seat outer belt assembly.
  1. Remove the front seat outer belt assembly and SST.
  2. Place the outer belt in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly, and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
    
    CAUTION:
    
    The 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 an 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 pretensioner, and then scrap the vehicle with the deployed outer belt installed.
DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT 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 disposing of a pretensioner equipped front seat outer belt, never deploy the belt in the customer's vehicle.
Note
- 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.

  Wind the seat belt with the retractor.
3. When the seat belt is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt approximately 100 mm (0.393 in.) from the retractor, as shown in the illustration.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  The retractor resistance increases in correlation with how much the seat belt is wound.
4. Check the function of SST.
