(d) Activate the seat belt pretensioner.
(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 activate the
seat belt pretensioner.
HINT:
The seat belt pretensioner operates simultaneously as the LED
of the SST activation switch lights up.
(e) Dispose of the front seat outer belt (with seat belt preten-
sioner).
CAUTION:
The front seat outer belt is very hot when the seat belt
pretensioner is activated, so leave it alone for at least
30 minutes after activation.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
seat outer belt with the activated seat belt pretension-
er.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt with
the activated seat belt pretensioner.
HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle, activate the seat belt pretensioner
and scrap the vehicle with the activated front seat outer belt still
installed.
2. ACTIVATION WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT SEAT
OUTER BELT ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the front seat outer belt (with seat
belt pretensioner) only, never use the customer's ve-
hicle to activate the seat belt pretensioner.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ILLUMINATION OPERATION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
5 and negative (±) lead to terminal 10, then check that the
illumination lights up.
If operation is not as specified, check the faulty bulb.
(b) Apply the tester as shown in the illustration to the test for
continuity.
If continuity exists, replace the heater control.
If no continuity exists, replace the bulb.
2. INSPECT INDICATOR OPERATION
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and
negative (±) lead to terminal 7, then check that the illumination
light up.
If operation is not as specified, proceed next inspection.
