Protective measures and rules of behaviour
- Assembly work only by trained staff.
- Carry out tests only with the Porsche System Tester diagnostic module; do not use test lamps, voltmeters or ohmmeters.
- Do not bring into contact with grease, solvents or cleaning agents.
- Do not expose to temperatures above 100°C.
- Keep the unfolding area of the airbag clear; e.g. do not hang test devices over the steering wheel. When carrying, hold the airbag with the blow-out direction facing away from the body. Store the unit with the airbag facing upwards.
- Electrostatic charge: in general, suitable work clothing and footwear are to be worn.
- Do not remove the short-circuit spring of the plug contacts.
- Never connect airbag units to electrical power sources not in accordance with regulations (danger of immediate ignition). Only use testers prescribed by the manufacturer.
- During installation/removal or work on the vehicle involving shocks: switch off ignition, disconnect and cover the negative terminal of the battery, wait 1 minute and only then disconnect the plug connection.
- Transport: in transport packaging. Forbidden in passenger compartment!
- Storage in the workshop: max. 10 kg (100 driver's or 50 passenger's airbags); security against theft!
- The installation of the airbag/belt tensioner unit must be carried out immediately after removal from the transport container.
- If work is interrupted, the airbag/belt tensioner unit must be stored in the transport container again.
- Leaving the belt tensioner unit unsupervised is not permitted.
