(a) Remove the steering wheel pad (See page SR±6).
CAUTION:

When removing the steering wheel pad, work must be
started 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) terminal
cable is disconnected from the battery.

When storing the steering wheel pad, keep the upper
surface of the pad facing upward.
(b) Using a service±purpose wire harness tie down the steer-
ing wheel pad to the disc wheel.

or more (0.0019 in2. or more)
CAUTION:
If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is
used to tie down the steering wheel pad, it may be snapped
by the shock when the airbag is deployed. This is highly
dangerous. Always use a wire harness for vehicle use
which is at least 1.25 mm

(2) Using 3 wire harness, 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 slackness in the wire harness, the steering
wheel pad may come loose due to the shock when the
airbag 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 due to 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.
(c) Check functioning of the SST (See step 1±(a)).
