-
Malfunction of the airbag system
-
Never drive with an airbag triggering unit that has not been taught.
-
The airbag triggering unit must be taught using the PIWIS Tester 97180! Until the airbag triggering unit has been taught, the warning light lights
up continuously.
-
Inspection and assembly work must only be carried out by specialist staff.
-
Before working on the airbag system and also when working on neighbouring parts where there is a risk because live parts are close to the airbag
system, always implement the following safety measures:
-
Remove ignition key.
-
Disconnect and cover the negative terminal of the battery.
After the battery is disconnected, assembly work or work on the vehicle with a hammer or similar tools
-
must not be started until after a waiting period of 1 minute! This is necessary in order to interrupt the power supply to the airbag system and to
ensure it is not triggered accidentally.
-
Airbag units must be fitted immediately after being removed from their storage location.
-
Airbag units must never be left lying around unattended.
-
If work is interrupted, airbag units must immediately be locked away again.
-
Airbag units must not come into contact with grease, oil, detergents, liquids, or similar substances.
-
Airbag units must not be exposed to temperatures above 90 °C.
-
Airbag units and control units which have fallen from a low height must no longer be installed.
-
Additional linings, stickers or similar must not be attached in the vicinity of the airbag units.
-
Changes must not be made to the wiring or the components of the airbag system.
-
The battery must always be disconnected before starting straightening and welding work with an electrical welding unit.
-
Electrostatic charge: In general, suitable work clothing and footwear are to be worn. Refer to Safety regulations for handling tools and materials
for airbag and belt tensioner units
-
Do not remove the short-circuit spring of the plug contacts.
-
Never connect airbag units to electrical power sources not in accordance with regulations (danger of immediate ignition). Only use testers
prescribed by the manufacturer. Airbag diagnosis 6901.
-
If you have to perform welding in the immediate vicinity of the airbag triggering unit, ensure it is removed before starting work.
-
Airbag components must not be repaired.
-
Airbag components must always be replaced.
-
Cleanse your hands after touching ignited airbag units.

Protective measures and rules of behaviour
NOTE:
-
Protective measures and rules of behaviour
-
Assembly work only by trained staff.
-
Carry out tests only with the PIWIS Tester 97180 diagnostic module; do not use test lamps, voltmeters or ohmmeters.
-
Do not bring into contact with grease, solvents, cleaning agents, or liquids.
-
Do not expose to temperatures above 100 °C.
-
Keep the unfolding area of the airbag clear; e.g. do not hang test devices over the steering wheel. When carrying, hold the airbag with the blow-out
direction facing away from the body. Lay the airbag unit aside with the airbag pointing upwards.
-
Electrostatic charge: In general, wear appropriate work clothing and footwear. Refer to Safety regulations for handling tools and materials for
airbag and belt tensioner units
-
Do not remove the short-circuit spring of the plug contacts.
-
Never connect an airbag unit to electrical power sources not in accordance with regulations (danger of ignition). Only use testers prescribed by the
manufacturer. Airbag diagnosis 6901.
-
During installation/removal or work on the vehicle involving vibrations: switch off ignition, disconnect and cover the negative terminal of the
battery, wait 1 minute and only then disconnect the plug connection.
-
Transport: In transport packaging. Forbidden in passenger compartment.
-
Storage in the workshop: max. 10 kg (=100 driver's or 50 passenger's airbags); protect against theft.
