Click here Click here
Tip:

  • When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag, 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 department of the distributor.

  • Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.

  • The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

CAUTION:

  • Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag that has an unactivated airbag.

  • The airbag produces 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 (32.8 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 with a deployed airbag.

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

  • 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.

    DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

    Tip:

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


    1. A01INJ8E15

      Check the function of SST (Click here).

    2. Read the precaution (Click here).

    3. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      CAUTION:

      Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

      Note:

      • w/ Navigation System (for HDD):

        After the ignition switch is turned off, the HDD navigation system requires approximately a minute to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the ignition switch off, wait a minute or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

      • When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (Click here).

    4. Remove the roof headlining (Click here).

    5. A01IQXPE01

      Install SST.


      1. Disconnect the connector.

        Note:

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

      2. Connect SST connector to the curtain shield airbag.

        09082-00802 09082-10801 09082-40800
        Note:

        To avoid damaging SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

      3. A01ITP3E12

        Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the vehicle front side window.

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

        Note:

        Take care not to damage 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 (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.

      2. Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:

        • When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.

        • 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 with a deployed airbag.

        • Do not apply water to a curtain shield airbag with a deployed airbag.

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

        Tip:

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

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

    Note:

    Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

    Tip:

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


    1. A01INJ8E15

      Check the function of SST (Click here).

    2. Remove the curtain shield airbag (Click here).

      CAUTION:

      When removing the curtain shield airbag, wait at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off and the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal before starting work.

    3. A01ISOX

      Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag.

    4. A01ITNAE11

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

      Cross-sectional area of stripped wire harness section
      1.25 mm2 (0.00192 in.2 or more
      CAUTION:

      If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie the curtain shield airbag, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with a cross-sectional area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.00192 in.2).

      Tip:

      To calculate the cross-sectional area of the stripped wire harness section: Cross-sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4


      1. A01ISX7E01

        Position the curtain shield airbag inside a tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

        Table 1. Text in Illustration
        *1 Width
        *2 Inner Diameter
        Tire size
        Must exceed the following dimensions
        Width
        185 mm (7.28 in.)
        Inner diameter
        360 mm (14.2 in.)

      2. Tie the curtain shield airbag to the tire with several wire harnesses.

        CAUTION:

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

        • Always tie the curtain shield airbag with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.

        Note:

        As the tire may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a tire that you are planning to throw away.

    5. A01IOCJE01

      Connect SST connector to the curtain shield airbag.

      09082-00802 09082-10801 09082-40800
    6. A01IPYPE01

      Place tires.

      Table 2. Text in Illustration
      *1

      Tire

      (2 or more)
      Note:

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


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

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

        Note:

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

        • As the disc wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a disc wheel that you are planning to throw away.

        • As the tires may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use tires that you are planning to throw away.

      3. A01IOLY

        Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.

        CAUTION:

        Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. Looseness in the wire harnesses results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

    7. A01INP8E01

      Connect SST connector.

      09082-00700
      Note:

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

    8. 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 (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire which the curtain shield airbag is tied to.

      3. Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

        CAUTION:

        When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the tires.

        Tip:

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

    9. A01IN4W

      Dispose of the curtain shield airbag.

      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 with a deployed airbag.

      • Do not apply water to a curtain shield airbag with a deployed airbag.

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


      1. Remove the curtain shield airbag from the tire.

      2. Place the curtain shield airbag in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
