41 00 ... Handling Airbags And Restraint Systems

1.0 Airbags and restraint systems
- On vehicles with airbags and restraint systems, observe the relevant safety instructions.
- During straightening work on the body, you will be exposed to the risk of accidental airbag triggering when the battery is connected.

Due to this potential hazard, it is essential to disconnect the battery negative lead prior to welding and straightening work. Prior to disconnecting the negative lead, interrogate the fault memories of the control units if necessary.
