DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing
of the side airbag assembly always first deploy the airbag in ac-
cordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormal-
ity occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE
DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:
Never dispose of a side airbag assembly which has
an undeployed airbag.
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 op-
eration 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.

HICLE
