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 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.
• Do not perform this procedure indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured. Also, do not deploy SRS parts near residential areas.
• If this procedure is performed indoors or on rough roads where safety cannot be ensured, unforeseen injuries may occur. Also, the deployment noise creates a nuisance to nearby residents.

HINT:

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of the front seat 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.

2. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When Installed to Vehicle)

NOTICE:

• When disposing of a front seat airbag assembly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the airbag.
• Be sure to perform the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

HINT:

Prepare an auxiliary battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

(a) Check the function of SST. Click here SST: 09082-00700

(1) After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the front seat airbag assembly. SST: 09082-00700 SST: 09082-00820 NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.

(f) Return the front seat assembly to its original position. for Manual Seat: Click here for Power Seat: Click here CAUTION: Check that there is no looseness in the front seat assembly.

(g) Deploy the airbag.

(1) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front side window of the vehicle.

*a Auxiliary Battery *b 10 m (32.8 ft.) or more

(2) While maintaining sufficient clearance for SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

CAUTION:

• Do not deploy with all the doors and door windows open.
• If deployed with all the doors and door windows open, dust and gas may enter the eyes or be breathed in.

NOTICE:

Take care not to damage SST wire harness.

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

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

(5) Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:

• Do not deploy with people inside or around the vehicle.
• If deployed with people inside or around the vehicle, serious injuries may occur.

HINT:

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

(h) Remove 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.
• If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.
• Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
• If water is applied to the front seat airbag assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.
• Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed front seat airbag assembly.
• If the front seat 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 front seat airbag assembly in a plastic bag.

(i) Dispose of the front seat airbag assembly.

(1) Place the front seat airbag assembly in a plastic bag, tie it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.

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.
• If not left alone for 30 minutes or more, burns may occur when touched.
• Do not apply water etc. to a front seat airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
• If water is applied to the front seat airbag assembly immediately after deployment, burns may occur from the resulting steam.
• Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a deployed front seat airbag assembly.
• If the front seat airbag assembly is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.
• Never dispose of a front seat airbag assembly with an undeployed airbag.
• If an undeployed front seat airbag assembly is disposed of, and then deploys for any reason, unforeseen injuries may occur.
• Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

3. DISPOSE OF FRONT SEAT AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When not Installed to Vehicle)

NOTICE:

Be sure to perform the following procedure when deploying the airbag.

HINT:

Prepare an auxiliary battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

(a) Check the function of SST. Click here SST: 09082-00700

(b) Remove the front seat airbag assembly.

Click here

(c) Using braided wire, tie down the front seat 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 front seat 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) Install the 2 nuts to the front seat airbag assembly.

(2) Wind 2 or more 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 with the airbag deployment side facing inward.

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 front seat airbag assembly may break loose when the airbag is deployed.
• Always tie down the front seat airbag assembly with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.

  *a	Remove looseness
  	Deployment Side

NOTICE:

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

(d) Install SST.

(1) Connect the SST connector to the front seat airbag assembly connector. SST: 09082-00820
