(c) Confirm functioning of the SST.
SST 09082-00700
(d) Install the SST.
CAUTION:
Place the disc wheel on the level ground.
Connect 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, se-
cure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the disc
wheel.
(e) Cover the steering wheel pad with cardboard box or tires.
Covering method using cardboard box:
Cover the steering wheel pad with the cardboard
box and weight the cardboard box down in 4 places
with at least 196 N (20 kg, 44 lb).
Size of cardboard box:
Must exceed the following dimensions:
x=460 mm (18.11 in.)
When dimension of the cardboard box exceeds the di-
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 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:
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 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.

(3) Position the front passenger airbag assembly in-
side the tire with the airbag deployment direction
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 of the airbag deploying.
Always tie down the front passenger airbag assembly
with the airbag door facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use a
redundant tire.
(c) Confirm functioning of the SST.
SST 09082-00700
(d) Place tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front
passenger 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.
(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 of 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.

(b) Check the tire runout.
Tire runout: 1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less
2. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE
(a) Check and adjust the Off-the-car balance.
(b) If necessary, check and adjust the On-the-car balance.
Imbalance after adjustment: 5.0 g (0.011 lb) or less
3. CHECK WHEEL BEARING LOOSENESS
(a) Check the axle bearing backlash.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
(b) Check the axle hub deviation.
Maximum: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
4. CHECK FRONT SUSPENSION FOR LOOSENESS
5. CHECK STEERING LINKAGE FOR LOOSENESS
6. CHECK BALL JOINT FOR LOOSENESS
7. CHECK SHOCK ABSORBER WORKS PROPERLY
Check for oil leak.
Check mounting bushings for wear.
Check front and rear of the vehicle for bounce.
