INSTALLATION
NOTICE:

Never use SRS parts from another vehicle. When re-
placing parts, replace them with new ones.

Never reuse the airbag sensor assembly involved in
a collision when the airbag has deployed.

If the airbag sensor assembly center has been
dropped, or there are any cracks, dents or other de-
fects in the case, bracket or connector, replace it with
a new one.

When installing the airbag sensor assembly center,
be careful that the SRS wiring does not interfere with
other parts and that it is not pinched between other
parts.

After installing, shake the airbag sensor assembly to
check that there is no looseness.
1. INSTALL AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the airbag sensor assembly with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 17.5 N´m (179 kgf´cm, 13 ft´lbf)
(b) Connect the airbag sensor holder (with connectors).
2. INSTALL FRONT CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY
(SEE PAGE BO±89)
3. INSTALL REAR CONSOLE BOX ASSEMBLY
(SEE PAGE BO±89)
4. INSTALL UPPER CONSOLE PANEL
(SEE PAGE BO±89)
5. INSTALL SHIFTING HOLE COVER
(SEE PAGE BO±89)
6. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMI-
NAL
7. PERFORM INITIALIZATION (SEE PAGE BE±77)
Some system need initialization when disconnecting the cable
from the negative battery terminal.

replacing parts, replace them with new ones.

Never reuse a front airbag sensor if the airbag has
previously deployed in a collision.
1. PRECAUTION (SEE PAGE RS±1 and RS±3)
2. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY
TERMINAL
Wait for 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable to prevent the
airbag working.
3. REMOVE FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR LH
(a) Disconnect the front airbag sensor LH connector.
NOTICE:
Disconnect the connector with the sensor assembly
installed.
(b) Remove the 2 nuts and front airbag sensor LH.
