Notes for Disassembly of Air Bag and Belt Tensioner

WARNING: Airbag units removed from the vehicle must always be stored with the cushion uppermost (facing upward)! If the gas generators are ignited, the airbag unit will be thrown into the air if the airbag is at the bottom (risk of injury).

1. Testing, disassembly and assembly may only be performed and supervised by specially trained personnel.
2. Airbag and belt tensioner units must only be fitted when the battery is disconnected, the negative pole covered and the test coupling/plug connection (10-pin) disconnected, directly and without delay after removal from the store room.
3. If work should be interrupted, the airbag and/or belt tensioner units must be returned to storage in a sealed room. Under no circumstances should these components be left unsupervised.

The fundamental points to be observed are as follows:
- Airbag and belt tensioner units must not be treated with grease, cleaning agents or similar agents.
- Airbag and belt tensioner units must not be exposed to temperatures above 100 °C, even for brief periods.
- Airbag and belt tensioner units which have fallen from a height of more than 0.5 m must not be installed in the vehicle.
- Airbag and belt tensioner units must only be tested electrically when installed in the vehicle and using the specified test equipment.

Before removing airbag and belt tensioner units, the battery must similarly be disconnected, the negative terminal covered and the test coupling/plug connection (10-pin) disconnected.
