(e) Install the SST.
Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the front passen-
ger airbag assembly connector.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, se-
cure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tires.
(f) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(±) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around
the tire which the front passenger airbag assembly
is tied to.
(3) 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.
(g) 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 the deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.

Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.
(1) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from
the tire.
(2) Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a vi-
nyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the
same way as other general parts disposal.

DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicles equipped with an SRS or disposing
of the side airbag assembly always first deploy the airbag in ac-
cordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormal-
ity occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE
DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:

Never dispose of a side 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 at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the airbag assembly.

The side 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 side
airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.

Do not apply water, etc. to a side airbag assembly with
the deployed airbag.

HICLE
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check functioning of the SST (See step 1±(a) on page
RS±16).

(b) Disconnect the side airbag connector.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(c) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the airbag
connector.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00750
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(2) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away 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 battery negative
(±) terminal.
(d) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check 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.
CAUTION:

The side 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 the
side airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.

Do not apply water, etc. to the side airbag assembly
with the deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.

When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and
scrap the vehicle with the side airbag assembly still
installed.

2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF SIDE AIRBAG
ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:

When disposing of the side airbag assembly only,
never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the air-
bag.

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 seatback assembly (See page RS±40).
(b) Disengage the hook of the seatback cover as shown in
the illustartion.
(c) Remove the 2 nuts and side airbag assembly from the
seatback assembly.
CAUTION:
When storing the side airbag assembly, keep the upper sur-
face of the airbag deployment side facing upward.
(d) Using a service±purpose wire harness, tie down the side
airbag assembly to the tire.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm

or more (0.0019 in2. or more)
CAUTION:
If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is
used to tie down the side airbag assembly, it may be
snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. This is
highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle
use which is at least 1.25 mm
2 (0.0019 in2.).

(f) Place the tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the side
airbag assembly is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the side
airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the
wheel installed.
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harness.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness are tight. It is very danger-
ous when loose wire harness results in the tires coming
free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
HINT:
Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Secure
at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
(g) Install the SST.
Connect the connectors of the 2 SST to the side airbag
assembly connector.

(h) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(±) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around
the tire which the side airbag assembly is tied to.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
