Avenger V6-2.7L (2008)
SEAT BELTS AND TENSIONERS
After a frontal impact where an airbag has been deployed due to a collision, the following MUST be replaced:
-
Front Seat Belt Retractors (driver and passenger) with integral Tensioners.
All other seat belts should be closely inspected for cuts, tears, fraying, or damage in any way following any frontal impact or airbag deployment. The
other seat belts are to be replaced when visible damage is incurred. Inspect the Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH) child restraint anchors
for damage after an impact event and replace as needed.
WARNING: Do not connect the battery negative cable See: Air Bag Systems/Testing and Inspection. Serious or fatal injury may result if the
system test is not performed first.
CLEAN UP PROCEDURE
Roll or fold the airbag towards its mounting point (i.e. instrument panel, steering wheel, or seat back). Then tape the ripped cover over the deployed
airbag.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual powder from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated
area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well. If the heater or air conditioner was in RECIRC mode at time of airbag deployment, operate blower
motor on low speed and vacuum powder residue expelled from the heater and A/C outlets. Multiple vacuum cleaning may be necessary to decontaminate
the interior of the vehicle.
