HINT:

When scrapping vehicles equipped with a seat belt pretensioner or disposing of a front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner), always first activate the seat belt pretensioner in accordance with the procedures described below. If any abnormality occurs during activation of the seat belt pretensioner, contact the service department of the distributor.

CAUTION:

1. 
   
2. Never dispose of a front seat outer belt that has an un-activated pretensioner.
   
3. The seat belt pretensioner produces a loud, exploding sound when it activates. Perform the operation where it will not be a nuisance to nearby people.
   
4. When activating a front seat outer belt (with seat belt pretensioner), stand at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the front seat outer belt.
   
5. Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt with an activated pretensioner.
   
6. Always wash your hands with water after completing the disposal.
   
7. Do not apply water to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.
   
8. Perform the procedure in a place away from electrical interference.
   
9. When activating the seat belt pretensioner, always use the specified SST (SRS airbag deployment tool).
   

HINT:

Prepare a battery to activate the seat belt pretensioner.

1. Check if SST is functioning properly.

5. Activate the seat belt pretensioner.
   
   

   1. Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10 m (32.8 ft.) of the vehicle.
      

   
   
   

   2. Press the SST activation switch to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
      

      HINT:

      The seat belt pretensioner operates at the same time SST activation switch LED illuminates.

6. Dispose of the front seat outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner).
   

   CAUTION:

   1. Do not touch the front seat outer belt for at least 30 minutes after the seat belt pretensioner has been activated. It is very hot.
      
   2. Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front seat outer belt whose pretensioner has been activated.
      
   3. Always wash your hands with water after completing the disposal.
      
   4. Do not apply water to a front seat outer belt that has an activated pretensioner.
      

   HINT:

   When scrapping a vehicle, activate the seat belt pretensioner, and then scrap the vehicle with the activated front seat outer belt installed.

NOTICE:

1. When only disposing of the front seat outer belt (with the seat belt pretensioner), never use the customer's vehicle to activate the seat belt pretensioner.
   
2. Be sure to follow the procedures listed below when activating the seat belt pretensioner.
   

1. Remove the front seat outer belt.
   
   

   1. Wind the seat belt with the retractor.
      

   
   
   

   2. When the seat belt is sufficiently wound, cut the seat belt approximately 100 mm (3.94 in.) from the retractor as shown in the illustration.
      

      HINT:

      The seat belt is designed so that winding the seat belt before pretensioner activation will decrease the pulling power of the seat belt during pretensioner activation.
