Disposal [10/2022 - ]: Procedure

  1. PRECAUTION 
    WARNING:
    • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt assembly with a deployed pretensioner.
    • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
    • Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat outer belt assembly with a deployed pretensioner.
    • When deploying a seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical noise.
    • Never dispose of a front seat outer belt assembly with a pretensioner that has not been deployed.
    • The front seat outer belt assembly produces an exploding sound when the pretensioner is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb nearby residents.
    • When deploying a seat belt pretensioner, perform the operation at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the vehicle.

    HINT: 

    When scrapping a vehicle equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a front seat outer belt assembly with a seat belt pretensioner, always deploy the seat belt pretensioner first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the SERVICE DEPARTMENT of the distributor.
