1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY LH

HINT
Prepare a battery for power activation of the seat belt pretensioner.

(a) Check if SST functions. (Procedure "A")

Do not connect the yellow connector. It is used to connect to the seat belt pretensioner.

(2) Press the SST activation switch and check that the LED of the SST activation switch turns on.





CAUTION:
If the LED turns on when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. Replace the SST with a new one.

(b) Disconnect the SST from the battery.

(c) Disconnect the pretensioner connector, as shown in the illustration.





(d) Install the front seat outer belt assembly floor anchor with the bolt.

Torque : 42 Nm (428 kgf-cm, 31 ft-lbf)

(e) Connect SST.





(1) Connect SST, then connect the yellow connector to the seat belt pretensioner.

SST : 09082-00700

SST : 09082-00770

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

(2) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front of the vehicle.





(3) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.

HINT
Leave a gap in one of the windows for inserting the SST wire harness.

NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

(4) Connect the SST red clip to the battery's positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.

(f) Activate the seat belt pretensioner (Procedure B).

(1) Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the vehicle.

(2) Press the SST activation switch to activate the seat belt pretensioner.

HINT
The seat belt pretensioner operates at the same time as the SST activation switch's LED light.

(g) Dispose of the outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner).

CAUTION:
* Do not touch the 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 handing an outer belt whose pretensioner has been activated.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the disposal.

2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER ASSEMBLY LH

HINT
Prepare a battery for power activation of the seat belt pretensioner.

NOTICE:
* When disposing of the front seat outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner) only, never use the customer's vehicle to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
* Be sure to follow the procedures listed below before activating the seat belt pretensioner.

(a) Remove the front seat outer belt assembly.





(1) Wind the seat belt with the retractor

(2) When the seat belt is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt approximately 100 mm (3.93 in.) from the retractor, as shown in the illustration.

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

(b) Check if SST functions. (See procedure "A")





CAUTION:
When activating a seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST.

SST : 09082-00700

SST : 09082-00770

(c) Connect the SST.





(1) Connect the SST, then connect the yellow connector to the seat belt pretensioner.

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

(2) Place the outer belt on the ground and cover it with a tire with the wheel attached.





NOTICE:
Set up the front seat outer belt assembly as shown in the illustration.

(3) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the wheel.





NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

(d) Activate the seat belt pretensioner.

(1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery's positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery's negative (-) terminal.
