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 the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:
S Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.
S 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.
S 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
SST
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
AB0152 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 the 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 the deployed 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.

S When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a
front passenger airbag assembly with the deployed
airbag, use gloves and safety glasses.
HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the ve-
hicle with the front passenger airbag assembly still installed.
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-28 ).
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.
H10575 S Store the front passenger airbag assembly with the
airbag deployment side facing upward.
(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)
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
Stripped Wire Harness Section
AB0163 (0.0019 in.2).
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
Square = 3.14 X (Diameter)2 divided by 4

Position the front passenger airbag assembly inside the
Width
tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions-
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Inner S Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
Diam.
gerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the
H10578 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 (See step 1-(a) on page
RS-14 ).

(d) Place tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front
passenger airbag assembly is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front

passenger airbag assembly is tied. The top tire
(5 or more)
should have the wheel installed.

(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harness.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very danger-
ous if loose wire harness result in the tires coming free due
to the shock from the airbag deploying.
