Remove the safety clip, on the cover of the sensor frame (figure 3) and insert it perpendicularly in the protective pipe (figure 4). Handle with extreme caution. Do not use hammers or other similar tools.

Removing an activated pre-tensioner

NOTE The buckle is retracted and the indicator 1 is visible (figure 2).

After having removed the complete seat from the vehicle, position it upsidedown, taking care not to damage the actual seat upholster, then proceed as described below:

  • operate the guide control lever and slide the seat forwards to the end of travel position;
  • release the bowden cable retaining bands.

The pre-tensioner cannot be reused, but must be replaced in its entirety.
