SRS Seat Cushion Airbag Assembly

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: SRS SEAT CUSHION AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: DISPOSAL

CAUTION:
Before performing pre-disposal deployment of any SRS component, review and closely follow all applicable environmental and hazardous material regulations. Pre-disposal deployment may be considered hazardous material treatment.

HINT
When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a front seat outer belt (with a seat belt pretensioner), always deploy the seat belt pretensioner first in accordance with the procedures described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the SERVICE DEPARTMENT of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:
* An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
* Never dispose of a seat cushion airbag assembly that has an undeployed airbag.
* The airbag emits an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors, 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 operation in a place away from electrical noise.





* When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at least 10 m (33 ft.) away from the seat cushion airbag assembly.
* The seat cushion airbag assembly becomes 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 a seat cushion airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water, etc. to a seat cushion airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
