CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS part, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.
The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
Do not perform this procedure indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured. Also, do not deploy SRS parts near residential areas.
If this procedure is performed indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured, unforeseen injuries may occur. Also, the deployment noise creates a nuisance to nearby residents.
Tech Tips
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, 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 Dept. of the distributor.
DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY LH (When Installed to Vehicle)
Note
When disposing of a curtain shield airbag assembly LH, use an unneeded vehicle to deploy the airbag.
Be sure to perform the following procedure when deploying the airbag.
Tech Tips
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
Check the function of SST.
Refer to Precaution.
Remove the luggage compartment mat sub-assembly.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal
CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal to disable the SRS system.
If the airbag deploys for any reason, it may cause a serious accident.
Remove the roof headlining assembly.
*a | Lock Button |
Protective Tape | |
Release in this Direction |
Disconnect the curtain shield airbag assembly LH connector.
Using a screwdriver, release the lock button and disconnect the airbag connector.
Note
When disconnecting any airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

Tape the screwdriver tip before use.
Install SST.
After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
Connect SST together (09082-00700 and 09082-10801).
Note
To avoid damaging SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
CAUTION:
Do not deploy the curtain shield airbag assembly LH if it rattles due to looseness and the tightening bolts and clips, etc., for the inflator and deployment part of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH falling off.
Do not deploy the curtain shield airbag assembly LH if the deployment part fell off.
If the curtain shield airbag assembly LH is deployed when it rattles or parts have fallen off, the curtain shield airbag assembly LH may fly off and cause serious injuries.
*a | 10 m (32.8 ft.) or more |
Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the rear side window of the vehicle.
Maintaining sufficient clearance for SST wire harness in the rear side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Do not deploy with all the doors and door windows open.
If deployed with all the doors and door windows open, dust and gas may enter the eyes or be breathed in.
Note
Take care not to damage SST wire harness.
Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Deploy the airbag.
Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.
CAUTION:
Do not deploy with people inside or around the vehicle.
If deployed with people inside or around the vehicle, serious injuries may occur.
Tech Tips
The airbag is deployed as the LED of SST activation switch comes on.
Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
CAUTION:
The curtain shield airbag assembly LH becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.
Do not apply water etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
If water is applied to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
If the curtain shield airbag assembly LH is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.
After removal, quickly seal the curtain shield airbag assembly LH in a plastic bag.
Dispose of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
Place the curtain shield airbag assembly LH in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.
CAUTION:
The curtain shield airbag assembly LH becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.
Do not apply water etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
If water is applied to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
If the curtain shield airbag assembly LH is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.
Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with an undeployed airbag.
If an undeployed curtain shield airbag assembly LH is disposed of, and then deploys for any reason, unforeseen injuries may occur.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY LH (When not Installed to Vehicle)
