LR3/Disco 3
Handling and storage
Always observe the following precautions when handling SRS components:
l
Never drop an SRS component. The airbag diagnostic control unit is a particularly shock sensitive device and
must be handled with extreme care. Airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners could deploy if subjected to a
strong shock.
l
Never wrap your arms around an airbag module. If a module has to be carried, hold it by the cover with the cover
uppermost and the base away from your body.
l
Never transport airbag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. Always
use the luggage compartment of the vehicle for carrying airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioner units.
l
Never attach anything to an airbag cover or any trim component covering an airbag module. Do not allow anything
to rest on top of an airbag module.
l
Always keep components cool, dry and free from contamination.
l
Never apply grease or cleaning solvents to seat belt pre-tensioner units, component failure could result.
l
Always store an airbag module with the deployment side uppermost. If it is stored deployment side down,
accidental deployment will propel the airbag module with sufficient force to cause serious injury.
l
Keep new airbag modules in their original packaging until just prior to fitting. Place the old module in the empty
packaging for carriage.
WARNING: Do not use electrical test equipment on the SRS harness while it is connected to any of the
SRS components, it may cause accidental deployment and injury.
