Lexus NX: 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.
- Never dispose of a lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with an undeployed 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 lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.
- The lower No. 1 instrument panel 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 a lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
- Do not apply water etc. to a lower No. 1 instrument panel 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 lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly, 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.
2. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When Installed in Vehicle)

NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(5) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.
(i) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.
CAUTION:
Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the vehicle.
HINT:
The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch comes on.
(j) Remove the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.

3. DISPOSE OF LOWER NO. 1 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG ASSEMBLY (When not Installed in Vehicle)
NOTICE:
Be sure to observe the following procedure when deploying the airbag.
HINT:
Prepare a battery as the power source to deploy the airbag.
| (a) Check the function of SST. Click here SST: 09082-00700 |
|
(b) Remove the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly.
Click here
CAUTION:
- Before removing the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly, wait at least 90 seconds after turning the power switch off and disconnecting the cable from the auxiliary battery negative (-) terminal.
- When storing the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly, keep the airbag deployment side facing upward.
(c) Using braided wire, tie down the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly to an unneeded tire.
Wire:
Cross-sectional area of stripped wire
1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more
CAUTION:
If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the lower No. 1 instrument panel airbag assembly, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).

| *a | Wire Diameter |
| *b | Stripped Wire Section |
HINT:
To calculate the area of the cross-sectional area of stripped wire:
Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4
