WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CAUTION:

Visually inspect the trim panels for damage every time before installing.
Do not make any repairs to the trim panels (upper A-pillar trim panel, B-pillar-, C-pillar-, and D-pillar trim panels).
Ensure secure trim panel fit when installing.
Always replace the entire module when making repairs behind the head curtain airbag.
Handle head curtain airbag modules with great care when removing and installing them to prevent causing any damage.
Place any removed head curtain airbag modules back in their transport containers or on a clean and even surface with a cloth underneath.
After servicing the body in the vicinity of the head curtain airbag, check the body for welding beads, deformation and chafe marks (compare with opposite side of vehicle if necessary).
As long as the gas generator is NOT attached, hold it securely when transporting, removing and installing, etc.
Never rotate, coil, knot, throw, slide, push, hang, squeeze, press, pinch or clamp the head curtain airbag module.
They may be folded as long as this does not damage them, especially the protective cover.
