FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG
ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL
When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing
of a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the
airbag in accordance with the procedure described below.
If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, con-
tact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES,
U.S.A., INC..
Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.
When disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly with
an airbag deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure
given under ºWhen scrapping vehicle, step 5. DISPOSAL OF
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLYº.
PRECAUTIONS FOR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
wThe airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound when
it deploys, so do the operation out±of±doors and where
it will not create a nuisance to nearby residents.
wWhen deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST: SRS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT TOOL (SST
09082±00700).
Carry out the operation in a place away from electrical
noise.
wWhen deploying an airbag, do it at least 10 m (33 ft)
away from the front passenger airbag assembly.
wThe front passenger airbag assembly is very hot when
the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30
minutes after deployment.
wUse gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
wDo not apply water, etc., to a front passenger airbag
assembly with a deployed airbag.
wAlways wash your hands with water after completing the
operation.

When scrapping vehicle
HINT: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the
airbag.
1. CONFIRM FUNCTIONING OF SST
(See page RS±19)
SST 09082±00700
2. DISCONNECT AIRBAG CONNECTOR
(a) Remove the glove compartment finish plate inside the
instrument panel box.
NOTICE: When handling the airbag connector, take care
not to damage the airbag wire harness.
(b) Pull up the connector.
(c) Disconnect the airbag connector.
3. INSTALL SST
(a) Connect the SST connector to the front passenger airbag
assembly connector.
SST 09082±00700
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire
harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(b) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) from the front of the
vehicle.
(c) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE: Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(d) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal
and the black clip to the battery negative (±) terminal.
4. DEPLOY AIRBAG
(a) Confirm that no±one is inside the vehicle or within 10 m
(33 ft) of the vehicle.
(b) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
HINT: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the
SST activation switch lights up. RS±26

5. DISPOSAL OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
wThe front passenger airbag assembly is very hot when
the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30
minutes after deployment.
wUse gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
wDo not apply water, etc., to a front passenger airbag
assembly with deployed airbag.
wAlways wash your hands with water after completing the
operation.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the
vehicle with the front passenger airbag assembly still
installed.
When disposing of front passenger airbag
assembly only
When disposing of the front passenger airbag assembly
only, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the air-
bag.
Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from the ve-
hicle and be sure to follow the procedure given below when
deploying the airbag.
HINT: Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the
airbag.
1. REMOVE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
(See page RS±23)
CAUTION:
wWhen removing the front passenger airbag assembly,
work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the
ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº position and the
negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the
battery.
wStore the front passenger airbag assembly with the
airbag door facing up.
2. FIX FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY TO TIRE
Using a service±purpose wire harness for vehicle, tie down
the front passenger airbag assembly to the tire.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm
2 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

Page 1711 of 2543

CAUTION: If the front passenger airbag assembly is tied
down by too thin a wire harness, it may snap. This is
highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness which is at
least 1.25 mm
2 (0.0019 in.2).
(1) Wrap the wire harness around the tire, passing the wire
harness through the installation holes which indicated in
the illustration by arrows.
(2) Position the front passenger airbag assembly inside the
tire with the airbag door facing inside.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions±
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner dia.: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
wMake sure the wire harness is tight. It is very dangerous
if a loose wire harness results in the front passenger
airbag assembly coming free due to the shock of the
airbag deploying.
wAlways tie down the front passenger airbag assembly
with the airbag door facing inside.
NOTICE: The tire will be marked by the airbag deploy-
ment, so use a redundant tire.
3. CONFIRM FUNCTIONING OF SST
(See page RS±19)
SST 09082±00700
4. PLACE TIRES
(a) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front
passenger airbag assembly is tied.
(b) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front passenger
airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the wheel
installed.
(c) Tie the tires together by 2 wire harnesses. RS±28

Page 1712 of 2543

CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It
is very dangerous if loose wire harnesses result in the
tires coming free due to the shock of the airbag deploy-
ing.
HINT: Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires.
Provide at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
5. INSTALL SST
Connect the SST connector to the front passenger airbag as-
sembly connector.
SST 09082±00700
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire
harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
6. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
(a) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal
and the black clip to the battery negative (±) terminal.
(b) Confirm that no±one is within 10 m (33 ft) of the tire the front
passenger airbag assembly is tied to.
(c) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
HINT: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the
SST activation switch lights up.
7. DISPOSAL OF FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG
