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.
Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.
The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The following procedure is for the LH side.
1. PRECAUTION
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.
Never dispose of a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly with a pretensioner that has not been deployed.
The rear seat 3 point type belt assembly produces an exploding sound when the pretensioner deploys, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb local residents.
When deploying a seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool). Perform the operation in a place away from electrical interference.
When deploying a seat belt pretensioner, perform the operation at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the vehicle.
The rear seat 3 point type belt assembly becomes extremely hot when the pretensioner is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly with a deployed pretensioner.
Do not apply water, etc. to a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly with a deployed pretensioner.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly (with a seat belt pretensioner), always deploy the seat belt pretensioner first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs during deployment of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the Service Dept. of the distributor.

2.DISPOSE OF REAR SEAT 3 POINT TYPE BELT ASSEMBLY LH (When Not Installed in Vehicle)
When disposing of a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH with a pretensioner, never deploy the pretensioner in the customer's vehicle.
Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying a seat belt pretensioner.
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the seat belt pretensioner.
Check the function of SST.
When deploying a seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST.
| *a | Battery |
Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) battery terminal.
At this time, do not connect the yellow connector. It will be connected to the seat belt pretensioner in a later step.
Press the SST activation switch and check that the LED of the SST activation switch illuminates.
If the LED is illuminated when the SST activation switch is not pressed, SST may be malfunctioning. In this case, do not use the malfunctioning SST.
Refer to Precaution.
Remove the rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH.
| *a | Cut |
| *b | 100 mm (3.94 in.) |
Wind the seat belt webbing with the retractor.
When the seat belt webbing is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt webbing approximately 100 mm (3.94 in.) from the retractor as shown in the illustration.
The retractor resistance increases in proportion with how much the seat belt webbing is wound.
Connect SST.
After connecting the following SST to each other, connect them to the seat belt pretensioner.
To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the pretensioner connector.
Place the rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH on the ground and cover it with an unneeded tire and wheel assembly.
Position the rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH as shown in the illustration.
The tire and wheel assembly may be damaged by the seat belt pretensioner deployment, so use an unneeded tire and wheel assembly.
Position and hold SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the tire and wheel assembly.
Do not damage the SST wire harness.
| *a | Battery |
| *b | 10 m (32.8 ft.) or more |
Deploy the seat belt pretensioner.
Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire and wheel assembly.
Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Press the SST activation switch to deploy the seat belt pretensioner.
The seat belt pretensioner will deploy at the same time as the LED of SST illuminates.
The rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH produces an exploding sound when the pretensioner is deployed, so perform the operation outdoors where it will not disturb nearby residents.
If this procedure is performed indoors or on a rough road where safety cannot be ensured, unforeseen injuries may occur. Also, if this procedure is performed near a residential area, the deployment noise may disturb nearby residents.
Dispose of the rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH.
Remove the tire and wheel assembly and SST.
Place the rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH in a plastic bag, tie the end tightly, and dispose of it according to local regulations.
The rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH becomes extremely hot when the pretensioner is deployed, so do not touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
Do not apply water, etc. to a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH with a deployed pretensioner.
If water is applied to the rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH immediately after deployment, burns may be caused by the resulting steam.
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH with a deployed pretensioner.
If a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH with a deployed pretensioner is touched without wearing safety glasses and gloves, hot parts may cause burns and dust may enter the eyes.
After removal, quickly seal the rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH in a plastic bag.
Never dispose of a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH with a pretensioner that has not been deployed.
If a rear seat 3 point type belt assembly LH with a pretensioner that has not been deployed is disposed of, and then deploys accidentally, unforeseen injuries may occur.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
