DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of a horn button assy, be sure to deploy the
airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag de-
ployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
CAUTION:

Never dispose of the horn button assy that has an un-
deployed airbag.

The airbag produces an extremely exploding sound
when it is deployed, so perform the operation out-
doors and where it will not create a nuisance to
nearby residents.

When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST(s) (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the
operation in a place away from electrical noise.

When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the horn button assy.

The horn button assy is extremely hot when the air-
bag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 min-
utes after deployment.

Use gloves and safety glasses when handling the
horn button assy with the deployed airbag.

Do not apply water, etc. to the horn button assy with
the deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
1. DISPOSE OF HORN BUTTON ASSY (WHEN
SCRAPPING VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT METHOD)
HINT:
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Check the function of the SST(s).
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST(s): SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.

to the battery negative (±) terminal.
HINT:
Do not connect the yellow connector of the SST(s) which is to
be connected with the supplemental restraint system.
(2) Check the function of the SST(s).Press the SST(s) activation switch, and check that
the LED of the SST(s) activation switch comes on.
CAUTION:
If the LED comes on when the activation switch is not being
pressed, SST(s) malfunction is posible, so be sure not to
use the SST(s). (3) Disconnect the SST(s) from the battery.
(b) Install the SST(s).
CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the steering wheel assy
and horn button assy. (1)Remove the instrument panel hole (See page

CAUTION:

When removing the horn button assy, work must be
started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) terminal
cable is disconnected from the battery.

When storing the horn button assy, keep the upper
surface of the airbag deployment side facing upward.
(c) Using a service±purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie
down the horn button assy to the disc wheel.

CAUTION:
If a wire harness which is too thin or an alternative object
is used to tie down the horn button assy, 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 has a diameter of at least 1.25 mm
