When disposing of a front seat outer belt assembly (with seat belt pretensioner) that was activated in a collision,start with step 1-(f).
CAUTION:
- Never dispose of a front seat outer belt that has an inactivated pretensioner.
- The seat belt pretensioner produces a loud, exploding sound when it activates. Perform the operation where it will not be nuisance to nearby people.
- When activating a front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner), stand at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front seat outer belt.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with an activated pretensioner.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the disposal.
- Do not apply water to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.

SST 09082-00770, 09082-00700
NOTE: To avoid damaging SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
3. Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front of the vehicle.
4. Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
HINT: Leave a gap in one of the windows for inserting SST wire harness.
NOTE: Take care not to damage SST wire harness.
5. Connect SST red clip to the battery's positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.
e. Activate the seat belt pretensioner.
1. Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10m (33 ft) of the vehicle.
2. Press SST activation switch to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
HINT: The seat belt pretensioner operates at the same time as the SST activation switch's LED lamp.
f. Dispose of the outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner).
CAUTION:
- Do not touch the outer belt for at least 30 minutes after the seat belt pretensioner has been activated. It is very hot.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling an outer belt whose pretensioner has been activated.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the disposal.
- Do not apply water to an outer belt that has an activate pretensioner.
HINT: When scrapping a vehicle, activate the seat belt pretensioner,and then scrap the vehicle with the activated outer belt installed.
2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
HINT: Prepare a battery as a power source to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
NOTE:
- When only disposing of the front seat outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner), never use the customer's vehicle to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
- Be sure to follow the procedures listed when activating the seat belt pretensioner.
a. Remove the outer belt.
1. Wind the seat belt with the retractor.
2. When the seat belt is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt approximately 100 mm (0.39 in.) from the retractor, as shown in the illustration.
HINT: The seat belt is designed so that winding the seat belt as much as possible before pretensioner activation will decrease the pulling power of the seat belt during pretensioner activation.
b. Check if SST is functioning properly (see step 1-(a)).
SST 09082-00770, 09082-00700
CAUTION: When activating a seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST.
c. Prepare SST for activation of the seat belt pretensioner.
1. Connect SST (A) to SST (B). Then connect SST(B)'s connector to the seat belt pretensioner.
NOTE: To avoid damaging SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
2. Place the outer belt on the ground and cover it with a tire with wheel.
NOTE: Set up the outer belt as shown in the illustration.
3. Move SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the wheel.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
d. Activate the seat belt pretensioner.
1. Connect SST red clip to the battery's positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery's negative (-)terminal.
2. Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) of the wheel.
3. Press SST activation switch to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
HINT: The seat belt pretensioner operates at the same time as the SST activation switch's LED.
e. Dispose of the outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner).
CAUTION:
- Do not touch the outer belt for at least 30 minutes after the seat belt pretensioner has been activated. It is very hot.
