Front Seat Outer Belt Assembly With PRETENSIONER: Disposal

HINT:

When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a front seat outer belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), always deploy the seat belt pretensioner first in accordance with the procedures described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

  1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE) 
    NOTE:
    • Never dispose of a front seat outer belt assembly with a pretensioner that has not been deployed.
    • The seat belt pretensioner produces an exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb local residents.
    • When deploying a front seat outer belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front seat outer belt.
    • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat belt with a deployed pretensioner.
    • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
    • Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt with a deployed pretensioner.
    • When deploying the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical interference.
    • Be sure to follow the procedures listed below when deploying the seat belt pretensioner.
    1. Check the function of SST.

      SST 09082-00700, 09082-00770 

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

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

        HINT:

        At this time, do not connect the yellow connector that will later be connected to the seat belt pretensioner.

      2. Press the SST deployment switch, and check that the LED of the SST deployment switch lights up.
        CAUTION: If the LED is lit when the deployment switch is not pressed, the SST may be malfunctioning. Therefore, do not use the SST.

    3. Deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioner.
      1. Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the vehicle.
      2. Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) terminal.
      3. Press the SST deployment switch and deploy the front seat outer belt pretensioner.

        HINT:

        The seat belt pretensioner will deploy at the same time as the LED of the SST illuminates.

    4. Dispose of the front seat outer belt assembly.
      1. Remove the front seat outer belt assembly and SST.
      2. Place the outer belt in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly, and dispose of it in the same way as other general part disposal.
