    WARNING:
    • If the air bag module is not properly installed to the tire, serious injury may occur when the module is deployed, When installing the air bag module to the tire, make sure the module is facing the center of the tire.

  8. Connect both SSTs  (Deployment tool) to the battery. Connect the power supply red clip to the positive battery terminal, and the black clip to the negative battery terminal.
  9. Verify that the red lamp on the SSTs  (Deployment tool) is illuminated.
  10. Make sure all persons are standing at least 6 m {20 ft}  away from the vehicle.
  11. 11. Press the activation switch on the SST  (Deployment tool) connected with 49 L066 002 (a yellow connector) of the SST  (Adapter harness), and after 3s  , press the activation switch on the other SST  (Deployment tool) to operate (deploy) the air bag module (both inflators).
    WARNING:
    • Verify that air bag module operation (explosive) sound occurs twice. If no operation (explosive) sound was heard or a single operation (explosive) sound was heard, both inflators would not have operated (deployed) properly. This may cause serious injury because the air bag module may operate (deploy) accidentally. If the two operation (explosive) sounds are not heard, perform Step  11 again. In case that the two operation (explosive) sounds in total are not verified even though Step  11 is performed again, leave the air bag module alone for 30 min or more before getting near it again.
    • The air bag module is very hot immediately after it is operated (deployed). You can be burned. Do not touch the air bag module for at least 15 min after deployment.
