Curtain Shield Airbag Assembly

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM: CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: DISPOSAL

HINT
* Disposal procedure for the RH side is the same as that for the LH side.
* The procedure described below is for the RH side.
* When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of a curtain shield 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 curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag.
* The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
* Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
1. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD 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.

(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 pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Do not use SST.
(3) Disconnect SST from the battery.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.

(c) Remove the roof headlining Removal.

(d) Disconnect the airbag connector, as shown in the illustration.





NOTICE:
Do not damage the airbag wire harness when handling the airbag connector.

(e) Connect SST.





SST : 09082-00700

SST : 09082-00802

09082-10801

09082-20801

(1) After connecting SST, connect it to the curtain shield airbag.

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.

(f) 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:
* When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
* The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
* Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield 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 CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

NOTICE:
* Never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag when only disposing of the curtain shield 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 pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Do not use SST.
(3) Disconnect SST from the battery.

(b) Remove the curtain shield airbag Removal.

(c) Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag.





(d) Connect SST.





SST : 09082-00802

09082-10801

09082-20801

(1) After connecting SST, connect it to the curtain shield airbag.

NOTICE:
Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness.

(e) Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie the curtain shield 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 curtain shield 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 mm2 (0.0019 in2).

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

Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

(1) Position the curtain shield airbag inside the tire, as shown in the illustration.





Tire size:





CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is any slack in the wire harnesses, the curtain shield airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a waste tire.

(f) Place the tires.





CAUTION:
Do not place the curtain shield airbag with the deployment direction facing toward the ground.

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied.

(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the curtain shield airbag is tied. The 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.

(g) Connect SST.





SST : 09082-00700

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

(h) 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 curtain shield airbag is tied.

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

CAUTION:
Make sure that no one is near the tire when deploying the airbag.

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

(i) Dispose of the curtain shield airbag.





CAUTION:
* The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
* Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag which has been deployed.
(1) Remove the curtain shield airbag from the tire.

(2) Place the curtain shield airbag in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it in the same way as other general parts.
