HICLE
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Confirm functioning of the SST.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, always use the specified SST:
SRS Airbag Deployment Tool.
SST 09082-00700
(1) Connect the SST to the battery.
Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip to the battery neg-
ative (-) terminal.
HINT:
Do not connect the yellow connector which will be connected
with the supplemental restraint system.
(2) Confirm functioning of the SST.
Press the SST activation switch, and check that 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.
(b) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Check that there is no looseness in the steering wheel and
steering wheel pad.
(1) Remove the finish panel lower and finish panel low-
er LH.
(2) Remove the heater to register duct No. 2.
(3) Disconnect the airbag connector of the spiral cable.

(5) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the
front of the vehicle.
(6) Close all the doors and window of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(7) 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.

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 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 spare tires.
(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) 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.
(g) Dispose of the steering wheel pad (with airbag).
CAUTION:

ing wheel pad with deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
deployed airbag.
(1) Remove the steering wheel pad from the disc
wheel.
(2) Place the steering wheel pad in a vinyl bag, tie the
end tightly and dispose of it in the same way as oth-
er general parts disposal.
