Refitting

If a new module is being fitted, attach the appropriate labels.

This file should be kept for future checks. A new label is supplied together with the module to be stuck on top of the existing one. It must be perforated first by the month, 10 years after the year in which the module is fitted (e.g. for 2000, this will be 2010).

Handle the Air Bag module with extreme caution. Ensure the battery is disconnected.

If removed, position the brackets and secure them using the bolts.
