(2) Face the upper surface of the steering wheel pad upward.
(3) Separately tie the left and right sides of the steering wheelpad to the disc wheel through the hub nut holes.
(c) Position the steering wheel pad connector so that it hangs downward through a hub hole in the disc wheel.
CAUTION:
w Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very
dangerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the
steering wheel pad coming free through the shock of the
airbag deploying.
w Always tie down the steering wheel pad with the pad side
facing upward. It is very dangerous if the steering wheel
pad is tied down with the metal surface facing upward as
the wire harness will be cut by the shock of the airbag
deploying and the steering wheel pad will be thrown into
the air.
HINT: The disc wheel will be marked by airbag deployment,
so use a redundant disc wheel.
4. CONFIRM FUNCTIONING OF SST (See page RS±27)
SST 09082±00070
5. INSTALL SST CAUTION: Place the disc wheel on level ground.
(a) C onnect the SST connector to the steering wheel pad
connector.
SST 09082±00700
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire
harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
Also provide some slack for the SST wire harness inside
the disc wheel.
(b) Move the SST to at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the steering wheel pad tied down on the disc wheel.

6. COVER STEERING WHEEL PAD WITH CARDBOARDBOX OR TIRES
Covering Method Using Cardboard Box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard box and
weigh the cardboard box down in four places with a at least
196 N (20 kgf, 44 lbf).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions±
x = 460 mm (18.11 in.) When dimension y of the cardboard box exceeds the
diameter of the disc wheel with tire the steering wheel
pad is tied to±
x = 460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
y = 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE: If a cardboard box smaller than the size speci-
fied is used, the cardboard box will be broken by the
shock of the airbag deployment.
Covering Method Using Tires:
Place at least 3 tires without disc wheel on top of the disc
wheel with tire to which the steering wheel pad is tied.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions± Width 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diam 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION: Do not use tires with disc wheels.
NOTICE: The tires by marked by the airbag deployment,
so use redundant tires.
7. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
(a) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery negative (±) terminal.
(b) Confirm that no±one is within 10 m (33 ft) of the disc wheel the steering wheel pad is tied to.
(c) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag. HINT: The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the
SST activation switch lights up.

8. DISPOSAL OF STEERING WHEEL PAD (WITH AIRBAG)CAUTION:
w The steering wheel pad is battery hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes after
deployment.
w Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steering
wheel pad with deployed airbag.
w Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
deployed airbag.
w Always wash your hands with water after completing the
operation.
(a) Remove the steering wheel pad from the disc wheel.
(b) Place the steering wheel pad in a vinyl bag, tie the end tightly
and dispose of it the same way as other general parts.
CONFIRM FUNCTIONING OF SST
RS014±02
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST:
SRS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT TOOL.
SST 09082±00700
1. CONNECT SST TO BATTERY Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery positive (+) ter-
minal and the black clip to the battery negative (±) terminal.
HINT: Do not connect the yellow connector which connects
with the supplemental restraint system.
2. CONFIRM FUNCTIONING OF SST Press the SST activation switch, and confirm the LED of the
SST activation switch lights up.
CAUTION: If the LED lights up when the activation switch
is not being pressed, SST malfunction is probable, so
definitely do not use the SST.

INSPECTION ITEMS
RS042±01
1. VEHICLES NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION
(a) Perform a diagnostic system check.(See page RS±59)
(b) Perform a visual check which includes the following items
with the front passenger airbag assembly installed in the
vehicle.
wCheck for cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration
of the front passenger airbag door.
2. VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IF THE AIRBAG IS NOT DEPLOYED
(a) Perform a diagnostic system check. (See page RS±59)
(b) Perform a visual check which includes the following items
with the airbag assembly removed from the vehicle.
wCheck for cuts, cracks in, or marked discoloration of the
front passenger airbag door.
w Check for cuts, cracks in, or chipping of connectors and
wire harness.
w Check for deformation of the instrument panel and
instrument panel reinforcement.
HINT:
w If the instrument panel and instrument panel
reinforcement is deformed, never repair it. Always
replace it with a new one.
w There should be no interference between the
instrument panel and front passenger airbag door. The
clearance should be uniform all the way around when
the new airbag assembly is installed on the instrument
panel.
CAUTION: For replacement of the airbag assembly, see
page RS±30 , ªFRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATIONº and be sure to follow
the correct procedure.
