Curtain Shield Airbag Assembly: Disposal: Disposal

WARNING:

Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.

PRECAUTION
HINT:

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the following procedure. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the Service Dept. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
WARNING:
- An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
- Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag assembly 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.
- The curtain shield airbag assembly 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 with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

    Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
  5. Connect the red clip of SST to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip of SST to the battery negative (-) terminal.
6. 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 SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
    WARNING:
    When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
    
    The curtain shield airbag assembly 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 with a deployed airbag.
    
    Do not apply water, etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
    
    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.
DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
NOTE:
- When disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
- Be sure to follow the procedure below when deploying the airbag.
HINT:

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

  Wire
  
  Stripped wire section
  
  1.25 mm² (0.0019 in.² ) or more
  
  WARNING:
  If the wire is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm² (0.0019 in.² ).
  
  HINT:
  
  To calculate the area of the stripped wire section:
  
  Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)² divided by 4
  1. Position the curtain shield airbag assembly inside the tire as shown in the illustration.
