Using a service-purpose wire harness for the vehicle, tie down the front passenger side knee airbag assembly to the tire.

  • Wire harness:
  • Stripped wire harness section
  • 1.25 mm2 or more (0.0019 in.2 or more)
  • CAUTION:
  • If the wire harness is too thin or an alternative object is used to tie down the front passenger side knee airbag assembly, 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).
  • HINT:
  • To calculate the area of the stripped wire harness section:
  • Area = 3.14 x (Diameter)2 divided by 4

Position the front passenger side knee airbag assembly inside the tire with the airbag deployment side facing inside.

  • Tire size:
  • Must exceed the following dimensions
  • Width:
  • 185 mm (7.28 in.)
