(b) Fix the front passenger airbag assembly.
(1) Use a service±purpose wire harness tie down the
front passenger airbag assembly.
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 front passenger airbag assembly it
may be snapped by the shock when the airbag is deployed.
This is highly dangerous. Always use a wire harness for ve-
hicle use which is at least 1.25 mm
2 (0.0019 in2).
(2) Wind the wire harness around the mount brackets.
(3) 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 the wire harness is tight. It is very danger-
ous when a loose 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
the spare tire.
(c) Check functioning of SST.
