Always make sure that the ignition switch is in the OFF position when changing any components.
-
Components forming part of the system must not be dismantled or repaired. Handle them with care and keep them in a dry place at room
temperature.

Airbags must be stored at room temperature. At temperatures above +135 °C there is a danger of self-detonation.
-
Airbags must be stored in a special area, away from storage areas for petroleum products or other inflammable materials.
-
Airbags must be stored with the metal casing facing downwards to avoid injury in the event of accidental triggering.
-
Wear goggles and protective gloves when removing an airbag that has been detonated. Put the airbag envelope in a tight-sealing plastic bag. Wash
your hands in warm water and a mild soap solution after handling a triggered airbag.

Airbags and seat-belt tensioners are classed as pyrotechnical devices and should be stored and handled in accordance with the current laws and
regulations governing these in each individual country.
-
Airbags and seat-belt tensioners must be fitted immediately after they have been fetched from the stores. If work is interrupted, the airbag or
seat-belt tensioner must be returned to the stores and put away safely. Under no circumstances should an airbag or seat-belt tensioner be left
unattended.
-
A seat-belt tensioner that has fallen or been dropped onto a hard surface should be inspected for external damage. A defective component must not
be fitted.
