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 vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner), always activate the seat belt pretensioner first in accordance with the procedures described below. If any abnormality occurs during activation of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the SERVICE DEPARTMENT of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
* Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
* The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

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 front seat outer belt that has an unactivated pretensioner.
* The seat belt pretensioner produces an exploding sound when it activates, so perform the operation outdoors and where it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.
* When activating the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool).
* Perform procedures in a place away from electrical interference.
* When activating a front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner), stand at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front seat outer belt.
* Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with an activated pretensioner.
* Do not apply water to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the disposal.
2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

HINT

(k) Activate the seat belt pretensioner.

(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 activate the seat belt pretensioner.

CAUTION:
* When activating the seat belt pretensioner, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
* Do not touch the front seat 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 a front seat outer belt whose pretensioner has been activated.
* Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

* When scrapping a vehicle, activate the seat belt pretensioner, and then scrap the vehicle with the activated front seat outer belt installed.

3. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

NOTICE:
Be sure to follow the procedures listed below when activating the seat belt pretensioner.

HINT
Prepare a battery as the power source to activate the seat belt pretensioner.

(a) Check the function of SST.

(2) Check the function of SST.

Press SST activation switch and check that the LED of SST activation switch comes on.

CAUTION:
* Do not connect the yellow connector. The yellow connector is used to connect to the seat belt pretensioner.

(2) When the seat belt is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt approximately 100 mm (0.393 in.) from the retractor as shown in the illustration.

HINT
The seat belt is designed so that winding the seat belt before pretensioner activation will decrease the pulling power of the seat belt during pretensioner activation.
