Side Airbag Assembly: Disposal

NOTE: When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing of the side airbag assembly always first deploy the airbag in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of the SERVICE DEPT. of DISTRIBUTOR.
CAUTION:
  • Never dispose of a steering wheel pad of which airbag has not been deployed.
  • The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound when it deploys, so perform the operation out of doors 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.

    SST 09082-00700

  • When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the airbag assembly.
  • The side airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

  • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
  • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
  • Do not apply water, etc. to a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.

    4. Deploy the airbag.
      1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10 m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
      2. Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
      NOTE: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of SST activation switch lights up.
    5. Dispose of side airbag assembly.

    CAUTION:
    • The side airbag assembly is very hot when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
    • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
    • Do not apply water, etc. to a side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.
    • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

    When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the side airbag assembly still installed.

  2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:
    • When disposing of the side airbag assembly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
    • Be sure to follow the procedure given below when deploying the airbag.
    NOTE: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
    1. Remove the seatback assembly. (See REMOVAL )
    2. Remove the side airbag assembly from the seatback assembly.
      CAUTION: Store the side airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing upward.

    3. Fix the side airbag assembly.
      1. Install the 2 nuts to the side airbag assembly.

      2. Using a service-purpose wire harness tie down the side airbag assembly.

        Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section 1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in2 or more)

        NOTE: To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section-Square = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

        CAUTION: If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is used to tie down the side airbag assembly, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use which is at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in2 ).
      3. Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of the side airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.

      4. Position the side airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment direction facing inside.

      Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions:- 

      Width 185 mm (7.28 in.) 

      Inner diameter 360 mm (14.17 in.) 

      CAUTION:
      • Make sure the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous when a loose wire harness results in the side airbag assembly coming free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
      • Always tie down the side airbag assembly with the airbag door facing inside.
      NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so when disposing of the airbag use a redundant tire.
