DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretension-
er or disposing of a front seat outer belt (with seat belt preten-
sioner) always first activate the seat belt pretensioner in accor-
dance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality
occurs in the seat belt pretensioner operation, contact the SER-
VICE DEPT. of the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA, INC.
CAUTION:

Never dispose of the front seat outer belt which has
an inactivated pretensioner.

The seat belt pretensioner produces a sizeable ex-
ploding sound when it activates, so perform the op-
eration out±of±door and where it will not create a nui-
sance to nearby residents.

When activating the seat belt pretensioner, always
use the specified SST. (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool)
Perform the operation in a place away from electrical
noise.
SST 09082±00700

When activating a front seat outer belt (with seat belt
pretensioner), perform the operation at least 10 m (33
ft) away from the front seat outer belt.

The front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner)
is very hot when the pretensioner is deployed, so
leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after deployment.

Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
seat outer belt with activated pretensioner.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.

Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt with
the activated pretensioner.
