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.
When disposing of a side airbag assembly with an airbag
deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given in step
1±(e) in ºDISPOSALº.
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
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check functioning of the SST. (See page RS±18)
SST 09082±00700
(b) Disconnect the side airbag connector.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(c) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the connector of 2 SST to the airbag con-
nector.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00750
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.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(±) terminal.
(d) 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 air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of SST activa-
tion switch lights up.

(e) 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
NOTICE:

When disposing of the side airbag assembly only,
never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the air-
bag.

Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the seatback assembly.
(b) Remove the side airbag assembly from the seatback as-
sembly.
CAUTION:
Store the side airbag assembly with the airbag deployment
side facing upward.
(c) Using a service±purpose wire harness tie down the side
airbag assembly.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm
2
or more (0.0019 in2 or more)
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 mm
2 (0.0019 in2).
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
Square = 3.14 x (Diameter)

(1) Install the 2 nuts to the side airbag assembly.
(2) Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of the
side airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.
(3) 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 danger-
ous when a loose wire harness results in the side air-
bag assembly coming free due to the shock from the
airbag deploying.

Always tie down the side airbag assembly with the
airbag door facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so when
disposing of the airbag use a redundant tire.
(d) Check functioning of the SST. (See page RS±18)

(e) Place the tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the side
airbag assembly is tied.

gerous when loose wire harnesses result in the tires com-
ing free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
HINT:
Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Secure
at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
(f) Install the SST.
Connect the connector of 2 SST to the side airbag assem-
bly connector.
