FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (for Hatchback 5 Door) WITH PRETENSIONER: Disposal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Never dispose of a front seat outer belt that has an inactivated pretensioner.
  • The seat belt pretensioner produces a loud, exploding sound when it activates. Perform the operation outside and where it will not be a nuisance to persons nearby.
  • Stand at least 10 m (33 ft) away when activating a front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner).
  • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with an activated pretensioner.
  • Always wash your hands with water after completing an activation.
  • Do not apply water to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.
  • Always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool) when activating the seat belt pretensioner.
  • Perform the operation in a place away from electrical interference.

HINT:

The procedure described below is for the RH side. Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides, unless otherwise specified.

  1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle) 

    HINT:

    Prepare a battery as the power source to activate the seat belt pretensioner.

    1. Check whether SST is functioning.

      SST 09082-00700

      4. Connect the SST red clip to the positive battery terminal and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
    5. Activate the seat belt pretensioner.
      1. Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10 m (33 ft) of the vehicle.
      2. Press the SST activation switch and activate the seat belt pretensioner.

        HINT:

    7. Dispose of the front seat outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner).

      HINT:

      When scrapping a vehicle, activate the seat belt pretensioner, and then scrap the vehicle with the activated front seat outer belt still installed.

      CAUTION:
      • Do not touch the front seat 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 handling a front seat outer belt with a pretensioner that has been activated.
      • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
      • Do not apply water to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.
  2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle) 

    HINT:

    Prepare a battery as the power source to activate the seat belt pretensioner.

    NOTE:
    • When only disposing of the front seat outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner), never use the customer's vehicle to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
    • Follow the procedure described below when activating the seat belt pretensioner.
    1. Remove the front seat outer belt assembly (See REMOVAL  ).
    2. Wind the seat belt with the retractor.
    3. When the seat belt is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt approximately 10 cm (0.328 ft) from the retractor, as shown in the illustration.

      HINT:

      The retractor resistance increases in correlation with how much the seat belt is wound.

        Area Measurement
        A 1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in2 or more)
        CAUTION:
        • Do not use wire harnesses that are too thin or any other object to tie the seat belt pretensioner because they may snap due to the shock when the pretensioner is deployed.
        • Always use a wire harness for vehicle use, with a cross section of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in2 ).
