(c) Using braided wire, tie down the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH to an unneeded tire.

Wire:

Cross-sectional area of stripped wire

1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2) or more

CAUTION:

If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH, it may snap when the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire for vehicle use with an area of at least 1.25 mm2 (0.0019 in.2).

HINT:

To calculate the area of the cross-sectional area of stripped wire:

Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 / 4

(1) Install the 3 nuts to the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH.

(2) Wind the wires around the stud bolts of the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH as shown in the illustration.

(3) Position the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH inside the tire. Minimum tire size: Must exceed the following dimensions Width 185 mm (7.28 in.) Inner diameter 360 mm (1.18 ft.) CAUTION: Make sure that the wires are tight. If there is slack in the wires, the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH may break loose when the airbag is deployed. Face the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH deployment surface toward the inside of the tire to evenly distribute the force of deployment. NOTICE: The tires may be damaged by the airbag deployment, so use unneeded tires.

*a Width *b Inner Diameter

(d) Install SST.

(1) Connect the SST connector to the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH connector. SST: 09082-00750

(e) Place the tires.

(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH is tied.

*1 Tires (2 or more) *a Deployment Side

(2) Place at least 2 tires onto the tire to which the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH is tied. The top tire should have a wheel installed.

(3) Tie the tires together with the 2 wires. CAUTION: Make sure that the wires are tight. Looseness in the wires results in the tires breaking loose when the airbag is deployed.

(f) Install SST.

(1) Connect the SST connector. SST: 09082-00700 NOTICE: To avoid damaging the SST connector or wire harness, do not lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some slack for the SST wire harness inside the tire.

*a 10 m or more

(2) Move SST at least 10 m (32.8 ft.) away from the airbag tied down to the tire.

(g) Deploy the airbag.

(1) Connect the red clip of SST to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black clip of SST to the negative (-) battery terminal.

(2) Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire to which the front seat cushion airbag assembly RH is tied.

(3) Press the SST activation switch and deploy the airbag.

CAUTION:

Before deployment, make sure that no one is near the airbag.
