L322 Range Rover Service Procedures
GENERAL INFORMATION
03-23
l
Never drop an SRS component. The airbag
diagnostic control unit is a particularly shock
sensitive device and must be handled with
extreme care. Airbag modules and seat belt pre-
tensioner units could deploy if subjected to a
strong shock.
l
Never wrap your arms around an airbag
module. If a module has to be carried, hold it by
the cover with the cover uppermost and the
base away from your body.
l
Never transport airbag modules or seat belt pre-
tensioners in the cabin of a vehicle. Always use
the luggage compartment of the vehicle for
carrying airbag modules and seat belt pre-
tensioner units.
WARNING: Never attach anything to an airbag
cover or any trim component covering an airbag
module. Do not allow anything to rest on top of
an airbag module.
WARNING: Always keep components cool, dry
and free from contamination.
CAUTION: Do not apply grease or cleaning
solvents to seat belt pre-tensioner units,
component failure could result.
WARNING: Store the airbag module with the
deployment side uppermost. If it is stored
deployment side down, accidental deployment
will propel the airbag module with sufficient force
to cause serious injury.
WARNING: Airbag modules and seat belt pre-
tensioners are classed as explosive devices. For
overnight and longer term storage, they must be
stored in a secure steel cabinet which has been
approved as suitable for the purpose and has
been registered with the local authority.
WARNING: Store the airbag module or seat belt
pre-tensioner in a designated storage area. If
there is no designated storage area available,
store in the locked loadspace of the vehicle and
inform the workshop supervisor.
CAUTION: Improper handling or storage can
internally damage the airbag module making it
inoperative. If you suspect the airbag module has
been damaged, install a new module and refer to
the deployment/disposal procedures for
disposal of the damaged module.
WARNING: Keep new inflatable tubular structure
(ITS) airbag module in the original packaging
until just prior to fitting. Place the old ITS module
in the empty packaging for carriage.
WARNING: When handling an inflatable tubular
structure (ITS) airbag module, hold by the gas
generator housing, DO NOT hold by the airbag.
Do not wrap the thumb around the gas generator
while holding. Do not drape airbag over shoulder
or around neck.
