Knee Airbag Assembly (for Front Passenger Side)





SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (for Front Passenger Side): DISPOSAL

CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS part, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Predisposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.

1. PRECAUTION

HINT
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:
* 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.
* Never dispose of a lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag that has an undeployed 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 lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag.
* The lower No. 2 instrument panel 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 lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water, etc. to a lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
2. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 2 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

NOTICE:
Be sure to 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 Steering Pad.





(b) Read the Precaution Service Precautions.

(c) Operate the power window regulator master switch, open the front side window and pass SST wire harness into the vehicle.

SST : 09082-00700





(d) While maintaining enough clearance for SST wire harness in the front side window, close all windows of the vehicle.

NOTICE:
Take care not to damage SST wire harness.

(e) 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.

(f) Remove the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag Removal.

CAUTION:
When storing the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.

(g) Install SST.

(1) Connect SST connector.

SST : 09082-00802

09082-10801

09082-20801





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

(2) Push the lock plate to lock SST connector.

(h) Install the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag Installation.

NOTICE:
Take care not to damage SST wire harness.

(i) Install SST.

(1) Connect SST connector.





NOTICE:
Take care not to damage SST wire harness.

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

(j) 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) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(3) Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

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

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

3. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 2 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

NOTICE:
Be sure to 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 Steering Pad.





(b) Read the Precaution Service Precautions.

(c) 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.

(d) Remove the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag Removal.

CAUTION:
When storing the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.

(e) Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag to a tire.





Text in Illustration





Cross-sectional area of stripped wire harness section:

1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more

CAUTION:
If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the lower No. 2 instrument panel 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 (0.0019 in.2).

HINT
To calculate the cross-sectional area of the stripped wire harness section:

Cross-sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4

(1) Position the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag inside a tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.





Text in Illustration





Tire size:

Must exceed the following dimensions

Width:

185 mm (7.28 in.)

Inner diameter:

360 mm (14.2 in.)

(2) Tie the lower No. 2 instrument panel 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 lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
* Always tie the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.
NOTICE:
As the tire may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a tire that you are planning to throw away.

(f) Install SST.

(1) Connect SST connector.

SST : 09082-00802

09082-10801

09082-20801





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

(2) Push the lock plate to lock SST connector.

(g) Place tires.

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag is tied to.

Text in Illustration









(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag is tied to. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.

NOTICE:
* 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) 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.

(h) Install SST.

(1) Connect SST connector.

SST : 09082-00700

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

(2) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the airbag tied to the tire.

(i) Deploy the airbag.

(1) Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire to which the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag is tied.

(2) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(3) Press SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

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

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

(j) Dispose of the lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag.





CAUTION:
* The lower No. 2 instrument panel 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 lower No. 2 instrument panel airbag with a deployed airbag.
