Toyota 4Runner: 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

HINT:

When scrapping a vehicle equipped with the SRS or disposing of the steering pad, be sure to deploy the airbag first in accordance with the procedure described below. If any abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.

CAUTION:

  • Never dispose of a steering pad that has an unactivated airbag.
  • The airbag produces 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 steering pad.
  • The steering pad 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 steering pad with a deployed airbag.
  • Do not apply water, etc. to a steering pad with a deployed airbag.
  • Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.

Stripped Wire Harness Section

Cross-sectional area of stripped wire harness section:

1.25 mm2 (0.00192 in.2)

CAUTION:

If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the steering pad, it may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use with a cross-sectional area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.00192 in.2).

HINT:

To calculate the cross-sectional area of the stripped wire harness section: Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4

(1) Install 2 bolts with washers into the 2 bolt holes on the steering pad.

Bolt:

L: 35.0 mm (1.38 in.)

M: 6.0 mm (0.236 in.)

Pitch: 1.0 mm (0.0393 in.)

NOTICE:

  • Tighten the bolts by hand until they become difficult to turn.
  • Do not tighten the bolts excessively.

(2) After connecting SST to each other, connect them to the steering pad.

SST: 09082-00820


(3) Wind 3 wire harnesses at least 2 times each around the bolts installed on the left and right sides of the steering pad.

Text in Illustration

*a

2 times or more

CAUTION:

  • Tightly wind the wire harnesses around the bolts so that there is no slack.
  • Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is slack in the wire harnesses, the steering pad may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.

(4) Face the airbag deployment side of the steering pad upward. Separately tie the left and right sides of the steering pad to a disc wheel through the hub nut holes. Position SST connector so that it hangs downward through the hub hole of the disc wheel.
