Risk Of Injury Caused By Performing Testing Or Repair Work On Airbag Or Emergency TENSIONING Retractor Units. - As91.00-Z-0001-01A
Store airbag units with deployment side facing up; do not expose to temperatures greater than 100 °C. When working on these units, disconnect the power supply.
Model 906
Risk of injury
Caused by parts flying around upon uncontrolled deployment of airbags or emergency tensioning retractors or by storing of the airbags with the deployment side facing downwards. When scrapping airbags or emergency tensioning retractors by means of controlled deployment, a danger is also present if an insufficient safe distance is kept or when opening with cutting torches or other cutting tools, or due to smelting or if parts that have not yet been triggered end up in a blaze or a smoldering fire at landfills.
Safety instructions/precautions
- Removed airbags must always be stored with deployment side facing up.
- Acquisition, transportation, storage, testing and assembly work should only be performed or supervised by properly trained personnel.
- Install airbag or emergency tensioning retractor immediately following retrieval from storage.
- Airbags and emergency tensioning retractors must be protected from flying sparks, open fires and temperatures > 100 °C.
- Do not transport airbags and emergency tensioning retractors in the passenger compartment, but rather stow them securely in the load compartment of the vehicle in their original replacement part packaging and such that they cannot slip around.
- Do not allow the airbags and emergency tensioning retractors to come into contact with grease, oil or cleaning agents.
- Perform system tests using approved testing equipment only and only when the units are properly installed and the vehicle is unoccupied.
- Before the initial hookup of the battery or an external power supply, the ignition must be switched on and the vehicle unoccupied.
- Airbags and emergency tensioning retractors that fall from a height of more than 0.5 m must be replaced.
: The airbags and emergency tensioning retractors must be disposed of in their original packaging through the usual MeRSy (Renz) disposal channel in a professional and environmentally safe manner.
- In all countries except
- When scrapping by means of controlled deployment of airbags and emergency tensioning retractors, a safe distance of at least 10 m must be maintained.
Before starting work on airbags and emergency tensioning retractors and work on components which are connected to airbags and emergency tensioning retractors or require an intervention in their electric circuit (e.g. when removing the steering wheel):
- Withdraw ignition key.
- Disconnect any external power sources (e.g. charger).
- Disconnect and insulate ground line of battery (except MODEL 906).
Before starting bodywork in combination with welding or retrofitting, during which work is performed on uninsulated, current-carrying lines (terminal 30):
- Withdraw ignition key.
- Disconnect any external power sources (e.g. charger).
- Disconnect and insulate ground line of battery.
- During welding, disconnect plug connection from control unit of airbag.
On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO (KG)
Ensure that no terminal is switched.
