- Follow all Safety Precautions when working with pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Always follow head curtain airbag installation procedure.
Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting the connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". This can be done by touching the door striker, for example.
-- Apply a dust protector to the head curtain airbag if there is a short tear near the slit for the clip. Refer to the Parts information.
-- Flatten out the head curtain airbag -1- around the slit -arrow- and apply the repair patch -2- so that the slits in the dust protector and repair patch are touching each other.
-- Replace the dust protector if the tears are longer than what the repair patch can cover.
-- Attach the gas generator -1- to the body -arrows-.
-- Tighten the bolt -3-.

Installation is performed in reverse order of removal, while noting the following:
Make sure the connectors are installed correctly and are secure.
Make sure the wires do not get caught.
Ignition must be on when connecting battery. If pyrotechnic components (for example, airbag, belt tensioner) are not repaired correctly, they may deploy unintentionally after connecting battery. There must not be anyone inside the vehicle when connecting the battery.
When working on vehicles with the ignition already switched on or that are ready to drive there is a danger of the engine starting unexpectedly and of being poisoned by gas in enclosed areas. Risk of body parts and/or clothing being clamped or pulled.
Perform the following before switching on the ignition:
- Move the selector lever into P.
- Activate the parking brake
- Turn off the ignition.
- Open the hood
- Connect the charger, such as the :VAS5095A to the jump start of the 12V vehicle electrical system.
- Turn on the ignition.
-- Connect the battery GND cable with the ignition turned on. Refer to BATTERY .
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault, check the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory, erase it and check it again. Refer to Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
