WARNING:
- Place any removed head curtain airbag modules back in their transport containers or on a clean and even surface with a cloth underneath.
- They may be folded as long as this does not damage them, especially the protective sleeve.
- Handle head curtain airbag modules with great care when removing and installing them to prevent causing any damage.
- As long as the gas generator is NOT attached, hold it securely when transporting, removing, installing, etc.
- Always replace damaged pillar trim panels, never repair.
- After servicing the body in the vicinity of the head curtain airbag, check the body for welding beads, deformations and chafe marks (compare with the opposite side of the vehicle if necessary).
- If an ignited head curtain airbag is replaced, the headliner, door seals with piping, head curtain airbag guides, grab handle brackets and the pillar trims must be replaced in general. If damaged, the rear interior lights, the roof grab handles and the roof end strip must be replaced.
