18. INSTALL STEERING WHEEL PAD
NOTICE:
Never use airbag parts from another vehicle. When
replacing parts, replace with new ones.
Make sure the wheel pad is installed with the speci-
fied torque.
If the wheel pad has been dropped, or there are
cracks, dents or other defects in the case or connec-
tor, replace the wheel pad with a new one.
When installing the wheel pad, take care that the wir-
ings do not interfere with other parts and that they are
not pinched between other parts.
(a) Connect the connector.
(b) Connect the airbag connector.

(b) When the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision in the
hatched area (Fig. 1) and the shock is larger than the pre-
determined level, the SRS is activated automatically. A
safing sensor is designed to go on at a smaller decelera-
tion rate than the airbag sensor. As illustrated in Fig. 2,
ignition is caused when current flows to the squib, which
happens when a safing sensor and the deceleration sen-
sor go on simultaneously. When a deceleration force acts
on the sensors, 2 squibs in the driver airbag and front pas-
senger airbag ignite and generate gas. The gas discharg-
ing into the driver airbag and front passenger airbag rap-
idly increases the pressure inside the bags, breaking
open the steering wheel pad and instrument panel.
Bag inflation then ends, and the bags deflate as the gas
is discharged through discharge holes at the bag's rear or
side.
11. DISCONNECTION OF CONNECTORS FOR FRONT
AIRBAG SENSOR AND SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR
(a) While holding both flank sides of the outer, slide the outer
to the direction shown by an arrow.
(b) Lock of the connectors is released, then disconnect the
connectors.
HINT:
Be sure to hold both flank sides of the outer. If holding the top
and bottom sides, it will obstruct disconnection.

INSPECTION
1. Vehicles not involved in collision:
INSPECT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(a) Do a diagnostic system check (See page DI±497).
(b) Do a visual check which includes the following item 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 a collision and airbag is not
deployed:
INSPECT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(a) Do a diagnostic system check (See page DI±497).
(b) Do a visual check which includes the following items with
the front passenger airbag assembly removed from the
vehicle.
Check cuts, minute cracks or marked discoloration
on the front passenger airbag assembly.
Check cuts and cracks in wire harness, and for chip-
ping in connectors.
Check the deformation or cracks on the instrument
panel and instrument panel reinforcement.
CAUTION:
For removal and installation of the front passenger airbag
assembly, see page RS±27 and RS±38, and be sure to fol-
low the correct procedure.
HINT:
If the instrument panel or instrument panel reinforcement is de-
formed or cracked, never repair it. Always replace it with a new
one.
3. Vehicle involved in a collision and airbag is deployed:
INSPECT SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(a) Do a diagnostic system check (See page DI±497).
(b) Do a visual check which includes the following items with
the front passenger airbag assembly removed from the
vehicle.
Check the deformation or cracks on the instrument
panel and instrument panel reinforcement.
Check the damage on the connector and wire har-
ness.

CAUTION:
For removal and installation of the front passenger airbag
assembly, see page SR±6 and SR±14, and be sure to follow
the correct procedure.
HINT:
If the instrument panel or instrument panel reinforcement is de-
formed or cracked, never repair it. Always replace it with a new
one.

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 the deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with the deployed airbag.
(1) Remove the front passenger airbag assembly from
the instrument panel (See page RS±27).
(2) Place the front passenger airbag assembly in a vi-
nyl bag, tie the end tightly and dispose of it in the
same way so as other general parts disposal.
