front of the vehicle.
(3) Close all the doors and windows of the vehicle.
NOTICE:
Take care not to damage the SST wire harness.
(4) Connect the SST red clip to the battery positive (+)
terminal and the black clip to the battery negative
(–) terminal.

(e) Dispose of the side airbag assembly.
CAUTION:

The side 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 side
airbag assembly with the deployed airbag.

Do not apply water, etc. to a side airbag assembly with
the deployed airbag.

Always wash your hands with water after completing
the operation.
When scrapping a vehicle, deploy the airbag and scrap
the vehicle with the side airbag assembly still installed.
2. DEPLOYMENT WHEN DISPOSING OF SIDE AIRBAG
ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:

When disposing of the side airbag assembly only,
never use the customer’s vehicle to deploy the air-
bag.

Be sure to follow the procedure given below when de-
ploying the airbag.
HINT:
Have a battery ready as the power source to deploy the airbag.
(a) Remove the seatback frame. (See page RS–10)
(b) Remove the side airbag assembly from the seatback
frame.
(1) Remove the 2 nuts, wire and side airbag assembly.
CAUTION:

Never disassemble the side airbag assembly.

Store the side airbag assembly with the airbag de-
ployment side facing upward.

(c) Using a service–purpose wire harness, tie down the side
airbag assembly.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm
2
or more (0.0019 in2 or more)
HINT:
To calculate the square of the stripped wire harness section :
Square = 3.14 x (Diameter)
2 divided by 4
CAUTION:
If a wire harness which is too thin or some other thing is
used to tie down the side airbag assembly, 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 (0.0019 in2).
(1) Install the 2 nuts in the side airbag assembly.
(2) Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of the
side airbag assembly as shown in the illustration.
(3) Position the side airbag assembly inside the tire
with the airbag deployment direction facing inside.
Tire size : Must exceed the following dimensions:–
Width 185 mm (7.28 in.)
Inner diameter 360 mm (14.17 in.)
CAUTION:

Make sure the wire harness is tight. It is very danger-
ous when a loose wire harness results in the side air-
bag assembly coming free due to the shock from the
airbag deploying.

Always tie down the side airbag assembly with the
airbag door facing inside.
NOTICE:
The tire will be marked by the airbag deployment, so use
the redundant tire.
(d) Check functioning of the SST.
SST 09082–00700, 09082–00750
(e) Place the tires.
(1) Place at least 2 tires under the tire to which the side
airbag assembly is tied.
(2) Place at least 2 tires over the tire to which the side
airbag assembly is tied. The top tire should have the
wheel installed.
(3) Tie the tires together with 2 wire harnesses.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. It is very dan-
gerous when loose wire harnesses results in the tires com-
ing free due to the shock from the airbag deploying.
HINT:
Place the SST connector and wire harness inside tires. Secure
at least 1 m (3 ft) of slack for the wire harness.
(f) Install the SST.
Connect the connector of 2 SST to the side airbag assem-
bly connector.
