Air Bag

Air Bag

• When removing and replacing open (exploded) air bag modules, handle only one module at a time and use gloves and goggles for removal.

After the operations are completed, wash hands thoroughly using neutral soap and rinse eyes immediately in plenty of running water if they come into contact with powder residues.

The metallic parts of a recently detonated air bag are very hot. Avoid touching these components for several minutes (about 20 minutes) after the Air-Bag is activated.

A When removing and replacing UNEXPLODED air bags, always rest the air bag module with the opening flap and pre-marked tear lines turned upward. Never place anything above the flap.

B Do not supply the air bag module with electric current in any way.

It is prohibited to test the continuity of system components unless modules have been replaced by dummy resistances.

C Never repair Air Bag modules. Send all defective modules to the supplier.

D Do not heat the air bag module, e.g. by welding, percusion, drilling, machining etc.

• Never install air bag modules on a vehicle once they have been dropped or show any signs of damage.
• is forbidden to keep air bag modules together with inflammable material or fuel.
• The gas generators must not come into contact with acid, grease or heavy metals. Contact with such substances could lead to the production of poisonous or harmful gas and explosive compounds.
• Store parts in their original packing. During temporary storage, follow the same procedure for an air bag module removed from the vehicle but not activated, i.e. always use a locked steel cabinet which is suitably designed (steel impact-resistant cabinet with grilles to allow natural ventilation inside).The cabinet must be equipped with special warning signs (DANGER EXPLOSIVES - DO NOT USE NAKED FLAMES - NOT TO BE OPENED BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL).
• No-one working on a version fitted with an air bag is allowed to work from the front seats without firstly rendering the system inoperative by turning the ignition key to STOP and then disconnecting and insulating the battery, and then waiting for 10 minutes.
• If water and mud reach the level of device components as a result of exceptional atmospheric conditions (floods, high tides etc.), the device must be replaced.
