DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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 seat belt pretensioner), always first activate the seat belt pretensioner in accordance with the procedures described below. If any abnormality occurs during activation of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the SERVICE DEPARTMENT of the DISTRIBUTOR.

PROCEDURE

1. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT OUTER BELT ASSEMBLY PRETENSIONER (When Installed in Vehicle)

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 front seat outer belt that has a non-activated pretensioner.
  • The seat belt pretensioner produces a loud, exploding sound when it activates. Perform the operation where it will not be a nuisance to nearby people.
  • When activating a front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner), stand at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front seat outer belt.
  • Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with an activated pretensioner.
  • Always wash your hands with water after completing the disposal.
  • Do not apply water to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.
  • The seat belt pretensioner becomes extremely hot when the front seat outer belt assembly is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
  • When activating the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform procedures in a place away from electrical interference.

(a) Check the function of SST.

SST: 09082-00700

CAUTION:

When activating the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST.

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

(2) Press the SST activation switch and check that the LED of the SST activation switch illuminates.

CAUTION:

  • If the LED is illuminated when the deployment switch is not pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. In this case, do not use the malfunctioning SST.
  • If the LED comes on when the activation switch is not being pressed, SST is malfunctioning. Replace SST.

(b) Disconnect SST from the battery.

(c) Disconnect the pretensioner connector and selectable force limiter connector. (w / Selectable Force Limiter)

(1) Remove the center pillar garnish lower (See page 2016 - 2017 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 11/2017]; INTERIOR PANELS / TRIM: ROOF HEADLINING: REMOVAL+ 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]; INTERIOR PANELS / TRIM: ROOF HEADLINING: REMOVAL+ ).
