Head Curtain Airbag With Igniter, Removing And Installing: Installing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Further installation is performed in reverse order of removal, while noting the following:

-- Pay attention to the safety precautions when working with pyrotechnic components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS .

Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that they engage audibly.
Make sure the wires are not pinched.

-- Make sure the "colored strip" is visible along the entire length. This will ensure that the head curtain airbag is NOT twisted.

CAUTION:

Risk of airbag deployment.

There is a risk of injury.

- Switching on the ignition (key/button) after assembly may only be done when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.

-- Check and erase the airbag control module DTC memory because faults can be stored from when the connectors are disconnected. Use the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
