(2) Using 3 wire harnesses, wind the wire harness at
least 2 times each around the bolts installed on the
left and right sides of the steering wheel pad.
CAUTION:

Tightly wind the wire harness around the bolts so that
there is no slack.

If there is slack in the wire harness, the steering wheel
pad may come loose due to the shock when the air-
bag is deployed. This is highly dangerous.
(3) Face the upper surface of the steering wheel pad
upward. Separately tie the left and right sides of the
steering wheel pad to the disc wheel through the
hub nut holes. Position the steering wheel pad con-
nector so that it hangs downward through a hub
hole in the disc wheel.
CAUTION:

Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very dan-
gerous when looseness in the wire harness results in
the steering wheel pad coming free through the shock
from the airbag deploying.

Always tie down the steering wheel pad with the pad
side facing upward. It is very dangerous if the steer-
ing wheel pad is tied down with the metal surface fac-
ing upward as the wire harness will be cut by the
shock from the airbag deploying and the steering
wheel pad will be thrown into the air.
NOTICE:
The disc wheel will be marked by airbag deployment, so
when disposing of the airbag use a redundant disc wheel.
(d) Check functioning of the SST. (See step 1±(a))

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.
(h) 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.

INSPECTION
1. VEHICLE NOT INVOLVED IN COLLISION
(a) Do a diagnostic system check.
(See page DI±626)
(b) Do a visual check which includes the following items with
the front passenger airbag assembly installed in the ve-
hicle.
Check cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration on the
front passenger airbag assembly and instrument panel.
2. VEHICLE INVOLVED IN COLLISION AND AIRBAG IS
NOT DEPLOYED
(a) Do a diagnostic system check.
(See page DI±626)
(b) Do a visual check which includes the following items with
the front passenger airbag assembly removed from the

DISPOSAL
HINT:
When scrapping vehicle equipped with an SRS or disposing of
a front passenger airbag assembly, always first deploy the air-
bag in accordance with the procedure described below. If any
abnormality occurs with the airbag deployment, contact the
SERVICE DEPT. of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
When disposing of a front passenger airbag assembly with an
airbag deployed in a collision, follow the same procedure given
in step 1±(e) in ºDISPOSALº.
CAUTION:

Never dispose of a front passenger airbag assembly
which has an undeployed airbag.

The airbag produces a sizeable exploding sound
when it deploys, so perform the operation out±of±
doors and where it will not create a nuisance to
nearby residents.

When deploying the airbag, always use the specified
SST (SRS Airbag Deployment Tool). Perform the op-
eration in a place away from electrical noise.
SST 09082±00700

When deploying an airbag, perform the operation at
least 10 m (33 ft) away from the front passenger air-
bag assembly.

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.
