3. FIX STEERING WHEEL PAD TO DISC WHEEL WITH TIRE
(a) Install the 2 bolts and washers in the 2 bolt holes in the
steering wheel pad.
Bolt:
L: 35.0 mm (1.378 in.)
M: 6.0 mm (0.236 in.)
Pitch: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
NOTICE:
• Tighten the bolts by hand until the bolts become difficult
to turn.
• Do not tighten the bolts too much.
(b) Using a service–purpose wire harness for the vehicle tie
down the steering wheel pad to the disc wheel.
Wire harness: Stripped wire harness section
1.25 mm2 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 oth-
er thing is used to tie down the steering wheel pad, 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 mm2 (0.0019 in2.).
(1) Using 3 wire harnesses, wrap the wire harnesses at
least 2 times each around the bolts installed on the left
and right sides of the steering wheel pad.
CAUTION:
• Tightly wind the wire harness around the bolts so that
there is no slack.
• If there is slackness in the wire harness, the steering
wheel pad may come loose due to the shock when the
airbag is deployed. This is highly dangerous.

(2) Face the upper surface of the steering wheel pad upward.
(3) Separately tie the left and right sides of the steering wheel
pad to the disc wheel through the hub nut holes.
(c) Position the steering wheel pad connector so that it hangs
downward through a hub hole in the disc wheel.
