• Following an accident:
  • The airbag and emergency tensioning retractor restraint system is to be checked for visual damage, defects and if it has been triggered
  • Defective or damaged components must be immediately replaced. Repair of these components is not permitted
• The emergency tensioning retractor with airbag control unit must be replaced:
  • If the housing is deformed or otherwise damaged
  • If the console has been deformed, even if the emergency tensioning retractor control unit with airbag does not appear to have suffered any damage
  • If there is an electrical defect
  • Or after the airbag has deployed three times

A new emergency tensioning retractor with airbag control unit must be programmed and parameterized after installation.

• The airbag or emergency tensioning retractor units must be replaced:
  • Following deployment
  • If there is external damage (even without deployment)
  • Or if there is an electrical defect

The steering wheel and the steering column tube must be replaced after the driver airbag has been deployed.

The instrument panel must be replaced after the front passenger airbag has deployed.

The side-bag cover in the door lining and the side paneling must be replaced after the side-bag has been deployed.

Otherwise the airbag cannot be guaranteed to function correctly.
