(1) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harness is tight. Looseness in the
wire harness results in the tires coming free due to the
shock when the airbag is deployed.
(f) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Connect the red clip of the SST to the battery posi-
tive (+) terminal and the black clip of the SST to the
battery negative (±) terminal.
(2) Check that no one is within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of
the disc wheel which the steering wheel pad is tied
to.
(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is near
the tire.
HINT:
The airbag is deployed as the LED of the SST activation switch
comes on.
(g) Dispose of the steering wheel pad.
CAUTION:
The steering wheel pad becomes extremely hot when
the airbag is deployed, so do not touch it for at least
30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a steer-
ing wheel pad with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a steering wheel pad with
a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
(1) Remove the steering wheel pad from the disc
wheel.
(2) Place the steering wheel pad in a plastic bag, tie it
tightly and dispose of it as other general part dispos-
al.

HICLE
(a) Check the function of the SST (see step 1±(a) on page
RS±23).
(b) Precaution (see page RS±1 and RS±3).
(c) Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
Wait for 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable to prevent the
airbag working.
(d) Remove the glove compartment door (see page
BO±89).
(e) Remove the lower No. 2 finish panel (see page
BO±89).
(f) Disconnect the airbag connector (yellow colored one)
from the front passenger airbag assembly.
(1) Using a clip remover, disengage the connector
clamp.
(2) Disconnect the airbag connector.
NOTICE:
When handling the airbag connector, take care not to dam-
age the airbag wire harness.
(g) Install the SST.
(1) Connect the SST connector to the front passenger
airbag assembly.
SST 09082±00700, 09082±00780
NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the SST connector and wire harness,
do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock.
(2) Move the SST at least 10 m (33 ft) away from the ve-
hicle side window.
(3) Maintaining enough clearance for the SST wire har-
ness in the front side window, close all doors and
windows of the vehicle.

(h) Deploy the airbag.
(1) Check that no one is inside the vehicle or within a
10 m (33 ft) radius of the vehicle.
(2) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the air-
bag.
CAUTION:
When deploying the airbag, make sure that no one is
near the vehicle.
The front passenger airbag assembly becomes ex-
tremely hot when the airbag is deployed, so do not
touch it for at least 30 minutes after deployment.
Use gloves and safety glasses when handling a front
passenger airbag assembly with a deployed airbag.
Do not apply water, etc. to a front passenger airbag
assembly with a deployed airbag.
Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
HINT:
The airbag deploys as the LED of the SST activation switch
comes on.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF FRONT PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ASSEMBLY ONLY
NOTICE:
When disposing of the front passenger airbag assem-
bly, never use the customer's vehicle to deploy the
airbag.
