Installation and Removal, Replacement

 

·   If the airbag has been deployed in an accident, the control unit, airbag units and contact unit must be exchanged for new parts.

 

·   If the wiring harness for the airbag system is damaged, the entire instrument panel wiring harness must be replaced. The airbag system wiring harness includes all leads which are connected to individual components of the airbag system. All leads belonging to the airbag system are identified by the yellow coating.

 

·   Do not modify the airbag system wiring harness in any way at all.

 

·   Before commencing operations on the airbag system, disconnect the battery negative terminal and mask the terminal; then wait 1 minute until the capacitor In the airbag control unit has discharged.

 

·   When removing the steering wheel, fix the steering column in the 'straight ahead" position, to avoid destroying the contact unit when the steering wheel is reinstalled.

 

·   Airbag units must always be stored with the cushion side facing upwards.

 

·   If vehicle repairs persist for longer periods of time, non - deployed, removed airbag units must always be stored under lock and key.

 

·   In general, the airbag system must not be modified in any respect.

 

·   The airbag unit must not be treated with grease, cleaning agents or similar (aggressive materials).

 

·   The airbag unit and control unit are sensitive to impact. If they have fallen from a height of more than 50 cm / 20 in., they must not be installed.

 

·   For welding operations, the cable clamp of the welding unit must be connected immediately beside the welding point. The control unit must always be disconnected from the wiring harness and the plug connection disconnected from the inflator.

 

·   The airbag units and the control unit must not be subjected to temperatures above 90 °C / 194 °F, even for brief periods of time.

 

·   Damaged or defective individual parts must not be repaired but must always be replaced, and must be returned In a special set of the original packaging.

 

·   The components of the airbag system must not be opened by force.

 

·   Before installation, check once more that the battery is disconnected, the terminal is masked and the ignition key is in the 0 position.

 

·   After connecting the battery, reprogram volatile memories (e. g. electric window winders, electric sun roof, dock and radio coding).

 

 

Important:

The four microencapsulated bolts (Illustration F 0676, position 1 - 4) for the co - driver's airbag must always be replaced with new ones.
