KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (for Driver Side) - DISPOSAL

  • 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 the DISTRIBUTOR..
  • CAUTION:
Never dispose of a driver side knee airbag assembly 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 driver side knee airbag.
The driver side knee airbag 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 driver side knee airbag with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water to a driver side knee airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
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.
1. DISPOSE OF DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
  • HINT:
  • Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

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

Maintaining enough clearance for SST wire harness in the front side window, close all doors and windows of the vehicle.

  • NOTICE:
  • Take care not to damage SST wire harness.

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

Deploy the airbag.

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

Press SST activation switch to deploy the airbag.

  • CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
The driver side knee airbag 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 driver side knee airbag with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water to a driver side knee airbag with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing the operation.
  • HINT:
  • The airbag is deployed as the LED of SST activation switch comes on.
2. DISPOSE OF DRIVER SIDE KNEE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN VEHICLE)
  • NOTICE:
  • Be sure to follow the procedure detailed below when deploying the airbag.
  • HINT:
  • Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.

Check the function of SST ().

Remove the driver side knee airbag ().

  • CAUTION:
When removing the driver side knee airbag, wait at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned off and the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal before starting work.
When storing the driver side knee airbag, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.

Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the driver side knee airbag to a tire.

  • Cross-sectional area of stripped wire harness section:
  • 1.25 mm2 or more (0.00192 in.2 or more)
  • CAUTION:
  • If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the driver side knee airbag, 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: Cross-sectional area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

Position the driver side knee airbag inside a tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

  • Tire size:
  • Must exceed the following dimensions
  • Width:
  • 185 mm (7.28 in.)
  • Inner diameter:
  • 360 mm (14.2 in.)

Tie the driver side knee airbag to the tire with several wire harnesses.

  • CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is slack in the wire harnesses, the driver side knee airbag may become loose due to the shock when the airbag is deployed.
Always tie down the driver side knee airbag with the airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.
  • NOTICE:
  • As the tire may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a tire that you are planning to throw away.
