Airbag Deployment When Scrapping Vehicle
DISPOSALHINT: When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the air-bag in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

- The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation out-of-doors 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.
SST 09082-00700
- When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger air-bag assembly.

- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
