WARNING:

Risk of injury due to involuntary deployment.

Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, disconnecting the connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.

-- Connect the connector -1- to the airbag igniter -arrow A-.

-- Press in the connector lock -2- -arrow B-. While doing this, the connector is pushed into the airbag igniter all the way and locks into place.

-- If the battery was disconnected, perform the required steps after connecting the battery. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .

WARNING:

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.

NOTE:

If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
