DISPOSAL

HINT:
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing
of the front passenger 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 the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A.,
INC.
CAUTION:

Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly
that has 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 resi-
dents.

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

When deploying the airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger air-
bag assembly.

The front passenger airbag assembly becomes ex-
tremely 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 front
passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag

Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with a deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.

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