SRS – Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures52B-39

(1) Remove the air bag module from the vehicle.
(Refer to P.52B-27.)
Caution
The connector of the front passenger’s side air
bag module is so constructed that the positive
and negative terminals are automatically
short-circuited when it is disconnected to prevent
an accidental deployment of the air bag resulting
from static electricity generation. Nevertheless,
to eliminate the slightest possibility of an
accidental deployment, always bear the following
in mind; the air bag module should be stored on
a flat surface and placed so that the pad cover
face up. Anything should not be placed on top
of it.
(2) Connect two wires, each six meters or longer, to the
two leads of SRS air bag adapter harness A and
cover the connections with insulation tape. The other
ends of the two wires should be connected to each
other (short-circuited), to prevent sudden unexpected
deployment of the air bag module.
(3) Connect the deployment wires to the SRS air bag
adaptor harness A, pass it beneath the tyre, and
wheel assembly, and connect it to the air bag module.
(4) Pass the thick wires into the hole of the air bag module
bracket, and secure it to the wheel of the old tyre
with wheel (4 locations), with the air bag facing
upwards.
Caution
1) Leave some space below the wheel for the
deployment wires.
If there is no space, the reaction of the air
bag deployment could result in damage of
the adaptor harness.
2) While deployment takes place, do not have
the connector of the SRS air bag adaptor
harness A inserted between the tyres.

(5) Place three old tyres, without wheels, on top of the
tyre secured to the air bag module, and secure all
tyres with ropes (4 locations).
NOTE
The front passenger’s side air bag is larger in capacity
than the driver’s side air bag when deployed. For
this reason, it is necessary to tie up all tyres together
with rope.
(6) At a location as far away from the air bag module
as possible, and from a shielded position, disconnect
the two connected wires from each other, and connect
them to the two terminals of the battery (which has
been removed from the vehicle) to deploy the air
bag.
Caution
1) Before deployment, check carefully to be sure
that no one is nearby.
2) The inflator will be quite hot immediately
following the deployment, so wait at least 30
minutes to allow it to cool before attempting
to handle it. Although not poisonous, do not
inhale gas from air bag deployment. See
Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal
Procedures (P.52B-40) for post-deployment
handling instructions.
3) If the air bag fails to deploy when the
procedures above are followed, do not go near
the module. Contact your local distributor.
(7) After deployment, dispose of the air bag module
according to the Deployed Air Bag Module Disposal
Procedures.
DEPLOYED AIR BAG MODULE DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES
After deployment, the air bag module should be disposed
of in the same manner as any other scrap parts, adhering
to local laws and/or legislation that may be in force except
that the following points should be carefully noted during
disposal.
1. The inflator will be quite hot immediately following
deployment, so wait at least 30 minutes to allow it cool
before attempting to handle it.
2. Do not put water or oil on the air bag after deployment.

HEADLAMP AIMING
Bring the vehicle in the following conditions before aiming
the headlamp.

Check the tires for inflation pressure. Pump them up if
necessary to the labeled pressure level.

Set the vehicle unladen on a level floor.

Place one person (approximately 55 kg) on the driver’s
seat.

Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min to keep the
battery in the charged condition.
1. Position the tester so that its converging lens faces the
fog lamp center to center at a distance of 10 m.
NOTE
Measure the center of the fog lamp as shown.
A: 572.5 mm (from the center of the vehicle body)
B: 360 mm
2. Remove the fog lamp bezel, and using the aiming
adjustment screw, aim the fog lamp to the standard value.
NOTE
The horizontal direction is non-adjustable. If the beam
axis deviation exceeds the standard value, check the
fog lamp to determine if it is installed out of position and
correct if necessary.

Caution:
(1) Perform aiming adjustments, one light at a time,
with the other headlamp disconnected so as not
to be lit unless circumstances compel otherwise.
When reconnecting the headlamps, be careful not
to upset their aim. Do not leave the headlamps
on for any longer than 3 minutes if their outer
lenses are covered with a surface covering
impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lenses by taping or in any
other way.
(3) Aiming adjustment must be completed with the
aiming adjustment screws turned in the tightening
direction.
FOG LAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the fog lamp.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Unhook the spring which secures the bulb and then
replace the bulb.
Caution
(1) Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands
or dirty gloves. If the surface does become dirty,
clean it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry
thoroughly before installing.
(2) To prevent the clouding of lens and ingress of
water into the lamp unit, install the socket cover
correctly.
