± SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMFRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

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).
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section:
Square = 3.14 X (Diameter)
2 divided by 4
(1) Install the 2 bolts with washers in the 2 bolt holes in
the front passenger airbag assembly,
Bolt:
L: 35.0 mm (1.387 in.)
M: 6.0 mm (0.236 in.)
Pitch: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
NOTICE:
Tighten the bolts by hand until the bolts become diffi-
cult to turn.
Do not tighten the bolts too much.
(2) Using 3 wire harness, wind the wire harness at least
2 times each around the bolts installed on the front
passenger airbag assembly.
(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 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.

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 harness.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. It is very danger-
ous if loose wire harness result in the tires coming free due
to the shock from 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.
(e) Install the SST.
Connect the connector of 2 SST to the front passenger
airbag assembly connector.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00760
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(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 tire which the front passenger airbag assembly
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 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) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from
the tire.
(2) Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a vi-
nyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the
same way as other general parts.
