Refitting

- Observe the following precaution.

Handle the Air Bag module very carefully. Make sure that the battery is disconnected.

- If a new module is being fitted, position the labels. Remove the detachable part of the adhesive label from the new module and place it in the special folder containing the vehicle details (model, registration date, chassis number) and the serial number of the old module. The file should be kept for future checks. A new adhesive plate comes together with the module and should be stuck on top of the existing one. Beforehand, however, it should be perforated at the month and 14 years after the year in which the module is being fitted (e.g. 2005 for 2019).

- Position the Air Bag module connecting the electrical connections.

- Push the airbag module into its seat and engage the metail wires with the two steering wheel retainers.

- Connect the battery.

- Use an Examiner to check that the system has not acquired errors during the operation.
