Disposal

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: DISPOSAL

DISPOSAL
HINT: When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of an instrument panel passenger airbag, 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.
CAUTION:
- Never dispose of a front passenger 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 front passenger airbag.
- The front passenger 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 front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

1. DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

(a) Check the function of SST.

SST: 09082-00700
CAUTION: Always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool) when deploying the airbag.

(c) Disengage the claw and disconnect the glove compartment door stopper.
(d) Slightly flex the upper part of the glove compartment door to release the 2 stoppers and open the glove compartment door until it becomes horizontal.

(e) Pull the glove compartment door out horizontally to disengage the 2 hinges portions and remove the glove compartment door.
NOTICE: Pull the glove compartment door out horizontally, otherwise, the hinge may be damaged, resulting in an installation failure.

(f) Disconnect the airbag connector, as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE: Do not damage the airbag wire harness when handling the airbag connector.

(g) Connect SST.

(1) Connect the SST connector to the front passenger airbag.
SST: 09082-00700
SST: 09082-00780
NOTICE: Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness.

(2) Move SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle.
(3) Close all doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE: Do not damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery terminal.
(h) 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 front passenger 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 front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
HINT: The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.

2. DISPOSE OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
SST: 09082-00700
SST: 09082-00802
09082-10801
09082-30801
NOTICE:
- Never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag when disposing of the front passenger airbag.
- Follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.
HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

(a) Check the function of SST.

SST: 09082-00700
CAUTION: Always use the specified SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool) when deploying 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) Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.
CAUTION:
- Do not connect the SST connector (yellow colored one) to the airbag.
- If the LED illuminates when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Do not use SST.
(3) Disconnect SST from the battery.
(b) Remove the front passenger airbag Installation.
CAUTION:
- When removing the front passenger airbag, work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to OFF and the cable is disconnected from the negative battery terminal.
- When storing the front passenger airbag, keep the upper surface of the airbag deployment side facing upward.

(c) Connect SST.
SST: 09082-00700
SST: 09082-00802
09082-10801
NOTICE: Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness.

(d) Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the front passenger airbag to the tire.

Stripped wire harness section:

CAUTION: Do not use a wire harness that is too thin or any other object to tie the front passenger 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 sq.mm (0.0019 sq.in).
HINT: To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness cross section:
Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

(1) Position the front passenger 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 front passenger airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
- Always tie the front passenger airbag with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.
NOTICE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a waste tire.

(e) Place the tires.

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front passenger airbag is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front passenger airbag is tied. A disc wheel should be installed onto the top tire.
NOTICE: Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

(3) 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.

(f) Connect SST.
SST: 09082-00700
NOTICE: Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness. Also, secure some slack for SST wire harness inside the tire.

(g) 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 front passenger airbag is tied.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
CAUTION: Make sure that no one is near the tires when deploying the airbag.
HINT: The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.

(h) Dispose of the front passenger airbag.
CAUTION:
- The front passenger 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 front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag which has been deployed.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
(1) Remove the front passenger airbag from the tire.
(2) Place the front passenger airbag in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
