Toyota Corolla Cross: Disposal

DISPOSAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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.

PROCEDURE

1. PRECAUTION

CAUTION:

• An airbag or pretensioner may be accidentally deployed 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 an instrument panel passenger airbag assembly with an undeployed airbag.
• The airbag produces an exploding sound when it is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb 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 instrument panel passenger airbag assembly.
• The instrument panel passenger 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 an instrument panel passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
• Do not apply water, etc. to an instrument panel passenger 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 instrument panel passenger airbag assembly, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the following procedure. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the Service Department of the distributor.

• If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.
• Do not apply water etc. to an instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
• If water is applied to the instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.
• Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly.
• If the instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.
• After removal, quickly seal the instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly in a plastic bag.

(i) Dispose of the instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly.

(1) Place the instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.

CAUTION:

• The instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly becomes extremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
• If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.

(e) Install SST.

(1) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly. SST: 09082-00802 09082-10801 09082-30801

(f) Using braided wire, tie down the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly to an unneeded tire.

Wire:

Stripped Wire Cross Sectional Area

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 instrument panel passenger airbag assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with a cross sectional area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).

HINT:

To calculate the cross sectional area of the stripped wire:

Cross sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4

(1) Position the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inward.

Minimum Tire Size:

Width

185 mm (7.28 in.)

Inner Diameter

360 mm (1.18 ft.)

CAUTION:

• Do not install the instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly with the deployment side facing outside.
• When securing the instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly, make sure there is no looseness in the wire harness.

  Deployment Side

• If the deployment side is facing outside or the wire harness is loosely wrapped, the deployed instrument panel passenger without door airbag assembly and tire may fly off and cause serious injuries.

NOTICE:

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

(g) Place the tires.

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the instrument panel passenger airbag assembly is tied. Minimum Tire Size: Width 185 mm (7.28 in.) Inner Diameter 360 mm (1.18 ft.) NOTICE: Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it could be damaged.

*a Tires (2 or more) *b Inner Diameter *c Width

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

NOTICE:

The wheel and tires may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use an unneeded wheel and tires.

(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wires. CAUTION: Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires will result in the tires breaking loose when the airbag is deployed.

(h) Install SST.

(1) Connect the SST connector. 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.
