Title: SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: FRONT SEAT SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY: DISPOSAL; 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 - ]

DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Disposal procedure for the RH side is the same as that for the LH side.
The procedure described below is for the LH side.
When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the front seat side airbag, 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:

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.
Never dispose of a front seat 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 (32.8 ft.) away from the airbag.
The front seat 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 front seat airbag assembly which has been deployed.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front seat airbag which has been deployed.
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.

PROCEDURE

1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)

HINT:

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

(a) Check the function of SST (See page ).

SST: 09082-00700

(b) Read the precaution (See page ).

CAUTION:

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

(d) Connect SST.

SST: 09082-00700

SST: 09082-00820

(1) Connect the SST connector to the front seat airbag assembly.

NOTICE:

Do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock to avoid damaging SST connector and wire harness.

(2) Move SST to at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the vehicle.

*a	10 m or more

(3) Close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

NOTICE:

Do not damage the SST wire harness.

(4) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative battery terminal.

(e) 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) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:

When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
The front seat 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 front seat airbag assembly which has been deployed.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

HINT:

The airbag is deployed as the LED on the SST activation switch illuminates.

2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT 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) Check the function of SST (See page ).

SST: 09082-00700

(b) Remove the front seat airbag assembly (See page ).

CAUTION:

Before removing the front seat assembly, wait at least 90 seconds after turning the power switch off and disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

*a	Stripped Wire Section
*b	Wire Diameter

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 front seat 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) Install the 2 nuts to the front seat airbag assembly.

(2) Wind the wires around the stud bolts of the front seat airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.

(3) Position the front seat airbag assembly inside the tire.

*a	Width
*b	Inner Diameter

Minimum tire size:

Must exceed the following dimensions

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 front seat airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.
Face the front seat airbag assembly deployment surface toward the inside the tire to evenly distribute the force of deployment.

NOTICE:

The tire may be marked by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded tire.

(d) Connect SST.

(1) Connect the SST connector to the front seat airbag assembly connector.

SST: 09082-00820

(e) Place the tires.

Text in Illustration

*1	Tire (2 or more)

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

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

NOTICE:

Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

(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) Connect SST.

(1) Connect the SST connector.

*a	10 m or more

SST: 09082-00700

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.

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

(g) Deploy the airbag.

(1) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

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

(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:

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

HINT:

The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.

(h) Dispose of the front seat airbag assembly.

CAUTION:

The front seat 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 front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
