Wire harness:
stripped wire harness section
1.25 Mm2 or more (0.0019 In.2 Or more)
Notice:
Use a tire that you are planning to throw away,
as the airbag deployment may damage the tire.
Caution:
Do not use wire harnesses that are too thin or
any other substitute items to tie down the front
passenger airbag. They may snap when the
airbag deploys. Always use vehicle wire
harnesses that have an area of at least 1.25 Mm2
(0.0019 In.2).
Hint:
To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness
section:
Area = 3.14 X diameter2 /4
- Position the airbag inside the tire so that the
brackets contact the tire.
Tire size:
width minimum:
185 mm (7.28 In.)
Inner diameter minimum:
360 mm (14.17 In.)
- Wind 3 wire harnesses at least twice around
the airbag brackets and tire.
Caution:
- Tightly wind the wire harnesses around
the brackets so that there is no slack.

tight. If there is slack in a wire harness,
the airbag may come loose when it is
deployed.

airbag deployment side facing inside the
tire.
