(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is very dan-
gerous if loose wire harnesses result in the tires coming
free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
HINT:
Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Provide
at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
(e) Install the SST. Connect the SST connector to the front passenger airbag
assembly connector.
SST 09082−00700
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(f) Deploy the airbag (1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(−) terminal.
(2) Confirm that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around the tire which the front passenger airbag as-
sembly is tied to.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
HINT:
The airbag deploys simultaneously as the LED of the SST ac-
tivation switch lights up.
(g) Dispose of the front passenger airbag assembly.
CAUTION:
The front passenger airbag assembly is very hot
when the airbag is deployed, so leave it alone for at
least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with deployed airbag.
(1) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from
the tire.
(2) Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a vi- nyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the
same way as other general parts disposal.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Never use airbag parts from another vehicle. When replac-
ing parts, replace with new parts.
1. INSTALL FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
Install the airbag door and front passenger airbag assembly to
the instrument panel.
CAUTION:
Make sure that no foreign objects are trapped be-
tween the airbag and the module.
Do not damage the strap when installing the module.
If the airbag door is cracked or its surface is peeling,
always replace it with a new airbag door.
NOTICE:
If the front passenger airbag assembly has been dropped,
or there are cracks, dents or other defects in the case or
connector, replace the front passenger airbag assembly
with a new one.
2. INSTALL INSTRUMENT PANEL (See page BO−80)
Install the 2 bolts to instrument panel reinforcement. Torque: 20 N·m (210 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
NOTICE:
Make sure the front passenger airbag assembly is installed
to the specified torque.When installing the instrument pan-
el, take care that the airbag wire harness does not interfere
with other parts and is not pinched between other parts.
3. CONNECT AIRBAG CONNECTOR
(a) Connect the airbag connector.
(b) Install the airbag connector to the airbag bracket.
(c) Install the glove compartment door.
