Component exchange after airbag/belt tensioner triggering

The following components must be removed and replaced after the airbag system is triggered:

Airbag unit, driver's side: 

1. Contact unit.

2. Airbag unit, driver's side.

3. Triggering unit after the third time the airbag is triggered.

Airbag unit, passenger's side: 

1. Airbag unit, passenger's side.

2. Triggering unit after the third time the airbag is triggered.

3. Instrument panel.

4. Check instrument panel bracket for deformation and replace if necessary.

Side-airbag unit, seat: 

1. Side-airbag unit, seat.

6. Seat covering, deformed seat components.

7. Sensor for the side-airbag unit after the third time the side-airbag is triggered

Head airbag unit, door: 

1. Head airbag unit.

9. Check door unit carrier for deformation and replace if necessary.

10. Sensor for the side-airbag unit after the third time the side-airbag is triggered.

Belt tensioner: 

1. All belt tensioner units.

Because it is difficult to visually determine if one or more belt tensioners has been triggered, check the following points:

- Using the PIWIS Tester P 9718 , read out the fault memory.

- Check plug connection on the belt tensioner for damage.

- Pull out the belt strap as far as possible and check for wear.

- Perform a function test on the automatic belt device.
