Front Passenger Airbag Assembly

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: 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.

HINT
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly, 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 the 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 front passenger airbag assembly 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 (33 ft.) away from the front passenger airbag assembly.
* The front passenger airbag assembly 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 assembly a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

Stripped Wire Harness Section

CAUTION:
If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie the front passenger airbag assembly, 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 front passenger airbag assembly inside a tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

Tire Size

CAUTION:
* Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is slack in the wire harnesses, the front passenger airbag assembly may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
* Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly 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 tires.

Text in Illustration

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to.

(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied to. The top tire should have a disc wheel installed.

NOTICE:
* Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
* As the disc wheel will be marked by the airbag deployment, use a waste disc wheel.
* As the tires will be marked by the airbag deployment, use waste tires.

(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.

(f) Install SST.

(1) Connect SST connector.
