Head Curtain Airbag With Igniter, Removing And Installing: Installing
- Follow all safety precautions when working on pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR 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 pin, for example.
-- Engage the head curtain airbag -2- first at the front in the mount -arrow B- on the body and push forward.
-- Engage the rear head curtain airbag in the mount -arrow A- on the body.
-- Position screw -1- but do not tighten.
-- Install the clips -2- for the head curtain airbag in the following sequence: -A to D-. They must audibly clip into the body.
-- Position bolts -1- but do not tighten.
-- Clip the clips -1- onto the body.
-- Engage the head curtain airbag strap in the mount on the body on the A-pillar.
-- Position bolt -2- but do not tighten.
-- Make sure the "black line" is visible over the entire length. This will ensure that the head curtain airbag is NOT twisted.
-- Tighten the bolt for the head curtain airbag igniter.
-- Fasten the bolt for the head curtain airbag strap to the A-pillar.
-- Tighten the bolts for the head curtain airbag clips.
-- Connect the connector -1- on the head curtain airbag igniter.
-- Install the connector lock -2- in direction of -arrow-. While doing this, the connector is pushed into the head curtain airbag igniter and locks into place.
If it was removed because of an accident, replace the clips.
Installation is performed in reverse order of removal, while noting the following:
Make sure the connectors are installed all the way and engage audibly.
Make sure the wires do not get caught.
The ignition must be on when connecting the 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.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition turned on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
Repairing pyrotechnic components (for example the airbag and seat belt tensioner) incorrectly increases the risk of injuries due to unintentional deployments when the ignition is switched on.
- If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected - >>indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up<< - the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
