NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness. (6) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the negative ( −) termi-
nal.
(c) Deploy the airbag. (1) Confirm that no one is inside the vehicle or within 10
m (33 ft) area around the vehicle.
(2) 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.
(d) Dispose of steering wheel pad (with airbag).
CAUTION:
The steering wheel pad is very hot when the airbag is
deployed, so leave it alone for at least 30 minutes af-
ter deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-
ing wheel pad with the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
the deployed airbag.
(1) When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the steering wheel pad still
installed.
(2) When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a
steering wheel pad with deployed airbag, use
gloves and safety glasses.

2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF STEERING
WHEEL PAD ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the steering wheel pad (with air-
bag) only, never use the customers vehicle to deploy
the airbag.
Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR−11).
CAUTION:
When storing the steering wheel pad, keep the upper sur-
face of the pad facing upward.
(b) Remove the connector on the rear surface of the steering
wheel pad from the bracket.
(c) Using a service −purpose wire harness, tie down the
steering wheel pad to the disc wheel.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm
2 or more (0.0019 in2 or more).
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
Square = 3.14 x (Diameter)
2 divided by 4
CAUTION:
If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is
used to tie down the steering wheel pad, it may be snapped
by the shock when the airbag is deployed. This is highly
dangerous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use
which is at least 1.25 mm
2 (0.0019 in2).

ameter of the disc wheel with tire to which the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied
x=460 mm (18.11 in.) + width of tire
y= 650 mm (25.59 in.)
NOTICE:
If a cardboard box smaller than the specified size is used,
the cardboard box will be broken by the shock from the air-
bag deployment.
Covering method using tires:
Place at least 3 ti res 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 (7.87 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Do not use tires with disc wheels.
NOTICE:
The tires may be marked by the airbag deployment, so use
the redundant tires.
(g) Deploy the airbag. (1) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(−) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within 10 m (33 ft) area around
the disc wheel which the steering wheel pad 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.

(e) 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) When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap the vehicle with the front passenger airbag
assembly still installed.
(2) When moving a vehicle for scrapping which has a front passenger airbag assembly with deployed air-
bag, use gloves and safety glasses.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PAS- SENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly only, never use the customer’s vehicle to deploy
the airbag.
Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly. (See page RS−22 )
CAUTION:
When removing the front passenger airbag assembly,
work must be started 90 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ”LOCK” position and the nega-
tive (−) terminal cable is disconnected from the bat-
tery.
Store the front passenger airbag assembly with the
airbag deployment side facing upward.
(b) Using a service− purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie
down the front passenger airbag assembly to the tire.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
CAUTION:
If the front passenger airbag assembly is tied down with
too thin wire harness, it may snap. This is highly danger-
ous. Always use a wire harness which is at least 1.25 mm
2
(0.0019 in.2)
(1) Wind the wire harness around the tire, passing the wire harness through the installation holes indi-
cated by arrows in the illustration.
(2) Position the front passenger airbag assembly in- side the tire with the airbag deployment side facing
inside.
Tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions −
Width: 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter: 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
gerous if looseness in the wire harness results in the
front passenger airbag assembly coming free due to
the shock from the airbag deploying.
Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly
with the airbag deployment side facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a
redundant tire.
(c) Check functioning of the SST. SST 09082−00700
(d) Place tires. (1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the frontpassenger airbag assembly is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the front passenger airbag assembly is tied. The top tire
should have the wheel installed.
