Airbag Mounting Components, Checking After An Accident

All damaged securing pieces must be replaced, you cannot reshape components or >>make them fit<<.

The following components must be checked after every airbag deployment.

With a passenger airbag deployment:

• Instrument panel center pipe; make sure the front passenger airbag module and supports can be installed without tension. Otherwise, replace the center pipe.
• Check the glove compartment and replace if damaged.

With a driver airbag deployment:

• Steering wheel: Remove the steering wheel and place it on the flat surface with the steering wheel rim. The entire rim must rest on the surface. Otherwise replace the steering wheel.
• Check the steering wheel for smoke residue and replace if there is any.
