FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Predisposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.

PROCEDURE


  1. PRECAUTION

    Tech Tips

    When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly, deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the service department of the distributor.

    CAUTION:


    • Never dispose of a front passenger airbag that has an undeployed airbag.

    • The airbag emits an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors and where it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.

    • When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.

    • When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly.

    • The instrument panel passenger airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

    • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.

    • Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.

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

    • An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
