| Safety regulations for crash sensors (pressure sensors) for side airbag (front) |
| The crash sensors for side airbags are very sensitive to pressure changes and must therefore be handled with great care. Please note the following: |
| t
| Always observe correct installation position: ONLY install in correct fitting location in door. |
| t
| Protect crash sensor from jolts and knocks. Crash sensors which have been dropped must NOT be used. Remove crash sensor to perform body repairs at door. |
| t
| The crash sensor is adapted to the air volume inside the door: If the door is deformed, causing the air volume in the door to be reduced, the function of the crash sensor will be impaired. |
| t
| Make sure the crash sensor is not badly soiled: Do not use compressed air near the crash sensor. Protect the crash sensor against filings or drilling swarf (e.g. on service installation of door loudspeakers). Do not use cavity sealant or oil sprays near crash sensor. |
| t
| Protect against heat and cold: Protect crash sensor against heat, e.g. when painting or carrying out other body work. Crash sensors should never be exposed to temperatures of less than –40 °C (e.g. in non-air-conditioned aircraft cargo holds). |
| t
| The crash sensor must be protected against moisture, both during storage and when installing. |
| Make sure that the door is properly sealed when it is installed; otherwise the crash sensor may not function correctly. Please note the following: |
| t
| Make sure that all components (e.g. cover panel, loudspeaker, door trim) are fitted correctly. |
| t
| The retaining clips for the door trim provide a seal for the system. Renew retaining clips if necessary. |
