CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of a curtain shield airbag, 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:


  • 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.

  • Never dispose of a curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag.

  • The curtain shield airbag 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.

  • Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield 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.

PROCEDURE

        *1 Battery
        *a 10m (33 ft.) or more

        Move SST to at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the vehicle.

      4. Maintaining sufficient clearance for SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

        Note

        Do not damage the SST wire harness.

      5. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

    6. Deploy the airbag.


      1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the vehicle.

      2. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:


        • Make sure that no one is near the vehicle when deploying the airbag,

        • The curtain shield airbag 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.

        • Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.

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

        Tech Tips

        The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.

  2. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

    Note


    • Never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag when only disposing of the curtain shield airbag.

    • Follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

    Tech Tips

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


    1. A005I6KE03

      Check the function of SST Click here.

      SST
      09082-00700
      09082-00802   ( 09082-10801, 09082-20801 )

    2. Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly Click here.

    3. A005IUEE02

      *a Cut

      Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag assembly.

    4. A005IFXE79

      Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the curtain shield airbag to the tire.

      Text in illustration
      *a Wire Harness Diameter
      *b Stripped Wire Harness Section

      CAUTION:

      Do not use a wire harness that is too thin or any other object to tie the curtain shield airbag because it may snap due to the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with a cross section of at least 1.25 mm2(0.0019 in2.).

      Tech Tips

      To calculate the cross-sectional area of the stripped wire harness section:

      Cross-sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2/ 4


      1. A005KQ1E02

        Position the curtain shield airbag inside the tire, as shown in the illustration.

        CAUTION:

        Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is any slack in the wire harnesses, the curtain shield airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

        Note

        The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a waste tire.

    5. A005GHRE01

      Place the tires.

      CAUTION:

      Do not place the curtain shield airbag with the deployment direction facing toward the ground.


      1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied.

      2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied. The disc wheel should be installed onto the top tire.

        Text in illustration
        *1 Tires (2 or more)

        Note

        Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

      3. A005HOZ

        Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.

        CAUTION:

        Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is highly dangerous when a loose wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

    6. Install SST.


      1. A005M5QE03
        Text in illustration
        *1 Battery
        *a 10m (33 ft.) or more

        Connect SST connector.

        SST
        09082-00700

        Note

        To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.

      2. Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the tires.

    7. Deploy the airbag.


      1. Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

      2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft.) radius of the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied.

      3. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:

        Make sure that no one is near the tire when deploying the airbag.

        Tech Tips

        The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch .

    8. A005I9F

      Dispose of the curtain shield airbag assembly.

      CAUTION:


      • The curtain shield airbag 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.

      • Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.

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


      1. Remove the curtain shield airbag from the tire.
