DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of
a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the air-
bag 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.
When disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly with an
airbag deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given
in step 1-(e) in "DISPOSAL".
CAUTION:
S Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.
S The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound
SST
when it deploys, so perform the operation out of
doors and where it will not create a nuisance to
nearby residents.
S When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
AB0152 SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the op-
eration in a place away from electrical noise.
SST 09082-00700
S When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger air-
bag assembly.
S The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
S Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
S Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
S Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with deployed airbag.

(d) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Confirm 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 the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.

(e) Dispose of the front passenger airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
S The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
S Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
S Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
S Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with deployed airbag.
(1) When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag
assembly still installed.
(2) When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a
front passenger airbag assembly with deployed air-
bag, use gloves and safety glasses.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY
NOTICE:
S When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy
the airbag.
S 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 front passenger airbag assembly.
(See page RS-25 )
CAUTION:
S When removing the front passenger airbag assembly,
work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the "LOCK" position and the nega-
tive (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the bat-
tery.

(b) Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie
Wire Harness down the front passenger airbag assembly to the tire.
Diameter
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in.2 or more)
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
Square = 3.14 X (Diameter)2 divided by 4
Stripped Wire Harness Section
AB0163
CAUTION:
If the front passenger airbag assembly is tied down with
too thin wire harness, it may snap. This is highly danger-
ous. Always use a wire harness which is at least 1.25 mm2
(0.0019 in.2).
(1) Wind the wire harness around the tire, passing the
wire harness through the installation holes indi-
cated by arrows in the illustration.
H09165
Width (2) Position the front passenger airbag assembly in-
side the tire with the airbag deployment side facing
inside.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions-
Inner Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Diam. Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
S Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
R11891 gerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the
front passenger airbag assembly coming free due to
the shock from the airbag deploying.
S Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly
with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a
redundant tire.
(c) Check functioning of the SST.
