2. Tie the front passenger airbag to the tire with several wire harnesses.

e. Place the tires.

1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the front passenger airbag is tied to.

2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the front passenger airbag is tied to. The top tire

should have a disc wheel installed.

CAUTION:



Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. If there is
slack in the wire harnesses, the front passenger
airbag may become loose due to the shock when the
airbag is deployed.



Always tie down the front passenger airbag with the
airbag deployment side facing inside the tire.

NOTE:

As the tires may be damaged by the airbag deployment, use a
tire that you are planning to throw away.

NOTE:



Do not place the SST connector under the tire because it
could be damaged.



As the disc wheel may be damaged by the airbag
deployment, use a disc wheel that you are planning to
throw away.

CAUTION: Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight. Looseness in

the wire harnesses results in the tires coming free due to
the shock when the airbag is deployed.

NOTE:

To avoid damaging SST connector and wire harness, do not
lock the secondary lock of the twin lock. Also, secure some
slack for SST wire harness inside the tire.
