Curtain Shield Airbag Assembly

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: DISPOSAL; 2013 MY FR-S [03/2012 -]

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

1. PRECAUTION

CAUTION:
* An airbag or pretensioner may be activated by static electricity. To prevent this, be sure to touch a metal surface with your bare hands to discharge static electricity before performing this procedure.
* Never dispose of a curtain shield airbag assembly with an undeployed airbag.
* The airbag produces 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 (32.8 ft.) away from the curtain shield airbag assembly.
* The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
HINT
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, 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.

2. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)

NOTICE:
* When disposing of the curtain shield airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
* Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

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

(a) Refer to Precaution Service Precautions.

(b) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

CAUTION:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to disable the SRS system.

(c) Remove the rid cover Removal.

(d) Disconnect the curtain shield airbag assembly connector.

(1) Using a screwdriver with the tip wrapped with protective tape, release the airbag connector lock and disconnect the curtain shield airbag connector.

NOTICE:
When disconnecting the airbag connector, take care not to damage the airbag wire harness.

(e) Install SST.

SST : 09082-18010

SST : 09082-18020

CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the curtain shield airbag assembly.

(1) Connect the clip and terminal of SST.

(2) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the curtain shield airbag assembly.

NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

(3) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the rear side window.

(4) Maintaining sufficient clearance for the SST wire harness in the rear side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.

(5) Connect the clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal.

(6) Connect the terminal of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal to deploy the curtain shield airbag assembly.

(f) Deploy the airbag.

(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.

(2) Connect the clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal.

(3) Connect the terminal of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal to deploy the curtain shield airbag assembly.

CAUTION:
* Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
* The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
3. DISPOSE OF CURTAIN SHIELD AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle)

NOTICE:
Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

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

(a) Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly Removal.

CAUTION:
* Before removing the curtain shield airbag assembly, wait at least 90 seconds after turning the ignition switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
* When storing the curtain shield airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
(b) Cut off the deployment section of the curtain shield airbag assembly.

Wire:

Stripped wire section

1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more

CAUTION:
If the wire is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the curtain shield airbag assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).

HINT
To calculate the area of the stripped wire section:

Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4

(1) Position the curtain shield airbag assembly inside the tire as shown in the illustration.

Minimum tire size:

Width
185 mm (7.28 in.)

Inner diameter
360 mm (1.18 ft.)

CAUTION:
Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the curtain shield airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.

NOTICE:
The tire may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.

(d) Install SST.

SST : 09082-18010

SST : 09082-18020

NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.

(1) Connect the clip and terminal of SST.

(2) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the curtain shield airbag assembly.

(e) Place the tires.

CAUTION:
Do not face the deployment side of the curtain shield airbag assembly toward the ground.

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the curtain shield airbag assembly is tied.

NOTICE:
* Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.
* The tires and wheel may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use unneeded tires and wheel.

(2) Place at least 2 tires onto the tire to which the curtain shield airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have a wheel installed.

(3) Tie the tires together with the 2 wires.

CAUTION:
Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires results in the tires breaking loose when the airbag is deployed.

(f) Deploy the airbag.

(1) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the tire.

(2) Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire to which the curtain shield airbag assembly is tied.

(3) Connect the clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal.

(4) Connect the terminal of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal to deploy the curtain shield airbag assembly.

CAUTION:
Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the airbag.

(g) Dispose of the curtain shield airbag assembly.

CAUTION:
* The curtain shield 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 curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Do not apply water etc. to a curtain shield airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
* Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
(1) Remove the curtain shield airbag assembly from the tire.

(2) Place the curtain shield airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly, and dispose of it according to local regulations.
