DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of
a steering wheel pad (with airbag), always first deploy the air-
bag in accordance with the procedure described below. If any
abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the
SERVICE DEPT. of the TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
When disposing of a steering wheel pad with an airbag
deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given in step

The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound

doors and where it will not create a nuisance to
nearby residents.
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
S
SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the op-
eration in a place away from electrical noise.

ter deployment.
