HINT:

To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section:

Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

1. Position the curtain shield airbag inside the tire as shown below.

Tire size:

Must exceed the following dimensions Width:

185 mm (7.28 in.) Inner diameter:

360 mm (1.18 ft.)

2. Tie the curtain shield airbag to the tire with several wire harnesses.

f. Place the tires.

1. Place at least 2 tires under the tire which the curtain shield airbag is tied to.

2. Place at least 2 tires over the tire which the curtain shield airbag is tied to. The top tire should

have the disc wheel installed.

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 deployment direction of the curtain shield airbag
facing the ground.

NOTE:



Do not place 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.



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

g. Install SST.

1. Connect SST connector.

SST 09082-00700

h. Deploy the airbag.

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

the battery negative (-) terminal.

2. Check that no one is within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) radius of the tire which the curtain shield airbag

is tied to.

NOTE:

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.
