Curtain Shield Air Bag Assy LH Disposal

DISPOSAL

HINT:
- Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.
- When scrapping a vehicle equipped with SRS or disposing of the front seat airbag assembly RH, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:
- Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag assembly LH that has an undeployed airbag.
- The airbag produces an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors 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.
- When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
- The curtain shield airbag assembly LH becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.

1. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

a. Check the function of the SST (see step 1-(a)).

CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST: SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.

SST 09082-00700

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

HINT: Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected with the supplemental restraint system.

2. Check the function of SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.

CAUTION: If the LED lights up when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so definitely do not use the SST.

3. Disconnect the SST from the battery.

b. Precaution.
c. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.

CAUTION: After removing the terminal, wait for at least 90 seconds before starting the operation.

d. Remove the roof headlining assembly.

e. Install the SST.
1. Disconnect the connector from the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.

NOTE: When handling the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

2. After connecting the SST below to each other, connect them to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.

SST 09082-00700, 09082-00802 (09082-10801, 09082-20801)

NOTE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

3. Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the vehicle rear side window.
4. Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire harness in the rear side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

NOTE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

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

f. Deploy the airbag.
1. Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the vehicle.
2. Press the activation switch of the SST and deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:
- The curtain shield airbag assembly LH becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with a deployed airbag.
- When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

HINT: The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

2. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

NOTE:
- When disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
- Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.

HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

a. Check the function of the SST (See step 1-(a)).

CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST: SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.

SST 09082-00700

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

HINT: Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected with the supplemental restraint system.

c. Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.

d. Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly LH to the tire.

Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section 1.25 sq.mm or more (0.0019 sq.in or more)

CAUTION: If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly LH, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 sq.mm (0.0019 sq.in).

HINT: To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section:
Area = 3.14 x sq.Diameter divided by 4

1. Position the curtain shield airbag assembly LH inside the tire as shown in the illustration.

Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions:
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)

CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harness is tight. If there is slack in wire harness, the curtain shield airbag assembly LH may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

NOTE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an extra tire.

e. Install the SST.
1. After connecting the SST below to each other, connect them to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.

SST 09082-00802 (09082-10801, 09082-20801)

f. Place the tires.

CAUTION: Do not place the deployment direction of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH facing toward the ground.

1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the curtain shield airbag assembly LH is tied to.
2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the curtain shield airbag assembly LH is tied to. The top tire should have the disc wheel installed.

NOTE: Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

3. Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.

CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harness is tight. Looseness in the wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

g. Install the SST.
Connect the connector of the SST.

SST 09082-00700

NOTE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.

h. Deploy the airbag.
1. Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the battery negative (-) terminal.
2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the tire which the curtain shield airbag assembly LH is tied to.
3. Press the activation switch of the SST and deploy the airbag.

CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the tire.

HINT: The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

i. Dispose of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH.

CAUTION:
- The curtain shield airbag assembly LH becomes very hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with the deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly LH with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

1. Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly LH from the tire.
2. Place the curtain shield airbag assembly LH in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it as other general part disposal.
