DISPOSAL

HINT:
- Disposal procedure of the RH side is the same as that for the LH side.
- When scrapping a vehicle equipped with SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:
- Never dispose of the curtain shield airbag assembly LH that has an undeployed airbag.

- When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST (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 curtain shield airbag assembly LH.
- The curtain shield airbag assembly LH is extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
- Use gloves and safety glasses when handling the curtain shield airbag assembly LH with the deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water, etc. to the curtain shield airbag assembly LH with the deployed airbag.
- Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG ASSEMBLY LH (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

HINT: Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.




a. Check the function of the SST.

CAUTION: When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST: SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
SST 09082-00700




1. Connect the SST to the battery.

HINT: Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected with the supplemental restraint system.




2. Check functioning of the SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and check that the LED of the SST activation switch lights up.

CAUTION: If the LED lights up when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so definitely do not use the SST.
