Safety measures when igniting airbag units

WARNING: Danger of injury and damage to property as a result of incorrect handling of airbag units!
Please observe the following points:
  • Ignition and preparations may only be carried out by skilled staff, supervised by a second responsible person!
  • Other normal accident prevention regulations must also be observed!
  • Ignite airbag units only in their securely installed, original condition!
  • Carry out ignition only in suitable, free areas!
  • Use only the ignition tool intended for that purpose!
  • All loose objects must first be removed from the expansion area of the airbag!
  • Persons possibly affected must be informed of the resulting noise beforehand!
  • Use ear protectors!
  • Maintain a safety distance by utilising the entire cable length of the ignition tool!
  • Do not connect the voltage source until all other preparations are complete!
  • Choose a place in front of the vehicle. This also applies to persons not involved!
  • Perform ignition with the doors closed and the side windows open!
  • Do not approach the vehicle until after a waiting period (approx. 3 minutes) if ignition fails!
  • Allow airbag units to cool down under observation following ignition!
  • Avoid skin contact with ignited airbag units!
