DISPOSAL
HINT:
When a scrapping vehicle 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, 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 ºDISPOSALº.
CAUTION:
Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.
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.
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
When deploying an airbag, perform the operation
from at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passen-
ger airbag assembly.
The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with deployed airbag.

1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN SCRAPPING VE-
HICLE
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Confirm functioning of the SST.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST:
SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
SST 09082-00700
(1) Connect the SST to battery.
Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery neg-
ative (-) terminal.
HINT:
Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected
with the supplemental restraint system.
(2) Confirm functioning of the SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and confirm the
LED of the SST activation switch lights up.
CAUTION:
If the LED lights up when the activation switch is not being
pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so definitely do not
use the SST.
(b) Disconnect the airbag connector.
(1) Remove the glove compartment finish plate inside
the instrument panel box.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(2) Pull up the connector.
(3) Disconnect the airbag connector.

(c) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the connector of SST to the front passen-
ger 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.
(2) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) from the front
of the vehicle.
(3) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the negative (+) termi-
nal.
(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:
The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
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:
When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly only, never use the customers vehicle to deploy
the airbag.
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-21)
CAUTION:
When 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.
Store the front passenger airbag assembly with the
airbag deployment direction facing upward.
(b) Fix the front passenger airbag assembly to tire.
(1) Using a service-purpose wire harness for the ve-
hicle, 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
CAUTION:
If a wire hsrness which is too thin or some other thing is
used to tie down the front passenger airbag assembly it
may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deplayed.
This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for ve-
hicle use which is at least 1.25 mm
2
(0.0019 in2).
(2) Wrap the wire harness around the tire, passing the
wire harness through the installation holes indi-
cated by arrows in the installation.

(3) Position the front passenger airbag assembly in-
side the tire with the airbag deployment direction
facing inside.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions-
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
gerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the
front passenger airbag assembly coming free due to
the shock of the airbag deploying.
Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly
with the airbag door facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a
redundant tire.
(c) Confirm functioning of the SST.
SST 09082-00700
(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
should have the wheel installed.
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is very dan-
gerous if loose wire harnesses result in the tires coming
free due to the shock of the airbag deploying.
HINT:
Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Provide
at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
