WARNING:
-
Following disconnection of the battery, a period of at least one minute must be allowed to elapse before any work is carried out on an air
bag module.
-
Following ten years in service, an air bag module must be removed and disposed of in the approved manner, and a new air bag must be
fitted.
-
Air bags contain a chemical irritant. If an air bag is renewed, the original unit must be disposed of in accordance with current safety
procedures.
-
In the event of a fault rupturing the 10A battery supply fuse (F4 located in the fuse-box at the driver's end of the fascia), the fuse must not
be renewed until the airbag/SRS system has been de-activated. Fuses of any other value must never be used, as this can cause disarm
failure.
