• Q: What is the proper procedure for deploying and disposing of an Air Bag when scrapping a vehicle equipped with an SRS system on 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Car operators must deploy vehicle Air Bags before scrapping an SRS-equipped vehicle otherwise discarding a steering wheel containing an Air Bag through use of the designated Special Service Tool: 09082-00700 (SRS Air Bag Deployment Tool) in an outside region. Personnel should provide this task at least 10 meters (33 feet) from the steering wheel pad and allow the steering wheel pad to rest for thirty minutes after deployment while wearing safety gloves and eye protection. The deployment of the steering wheel pad should take minimum 10 m (33 ft) distance from the wheel pad then allow the pad to fully cool for thirty minutes with proper glove and safety eyewear use while handling it. Examine the Special Service Tool's operation through battery connection where the red clip should mount to the positive terminal while the black clip fastens to the negative terminal while refraining from plugging in the yellow connector. Checking the tool reveals that the activation switch lights up after pressing it correctly; users should avoid tool usage if this light turns on by itself. Proceed with the following steps to prepare the repair: disconnect the Air Bag connector of the spiral cable before connecting the Special Service Tool to this connector and transferring the device at least 10 meters (33 feet) away from the vehicle and closing all doors then windows. Before activating the Air Bag use the provided switch ensure there is no person inside the vehicle or located within 10 meters (33 feet) from the vehicle's outside. The procedure for disposing the steering wheel pad includes proper handling and a comprehensive hand wash with no water exposure to the deployed Air Bag. To dispose of a vehicle include deploying an Air Bag with attached steering wheel pad while wearing gloves and safety glasses for safely moving vehicles that have deployed Air Bags.
