vehicle, tie down the front seat side airbag to the
tire.
Wire harness:
stripped wire harness section
1.25 Mm2 or more (0.0019 In.2 Or more)
Hint:
To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness
section:
area = 3.14 X (diameter)2/4
Caution:
If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative
object is used to tie down the front seat side
airbag, it may be snapped by the shock when
the airbag is deployed. Always use a wire
harness for vehicle use with an area of at least
1.25 Mm2 (0.0019 In.2).
- Install the 2 nuts to the front seat side airbag
assembly.
- Wind the wire harness around the stud bolts of
the front seat side airbag as shown in the
illustration.
- Position the front seat side airbag inside the tire.
Tire size:
width minimum:
185 mm (7.28 In.)
Inner diameter minimum:
360 mm (14.17 In.)
Caution:
Notice:

Caution:
Make sure that the wire harnesses are tight.
Looseness in the wire harness may result in
the tires coming free due to the shock when
the airbag is deployed.
- Install sst.
- Connect the sst connector.
