DISPOSAL

HINT:

Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.

The procedures listed below are for the LH side.

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or dis-
posing of the front seat airbag assembly LH, 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 front seat 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 resi-
dents.

When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the op-
eration in a place away from electrical noise.

When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front seat airbag as-
sembly.

The front seat 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 front
seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.

Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag assem-
bly with a deployed airbag.

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