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:

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