5. Airbag sensors: see → 1 → 2.

Side airbag unit, seat: 

1. Side airbag unit, seat.
2. Triggering unit after the third time the airbag is triggered.
3. Seat covering, deformed seat components.
4. Airbag sensors: see →  1 → 2.

Head airbag unit:

Airbag sensor: 

1. All airbag sensors in damaged/deformed areas of the vehicle must always be replaced.
2. Otherwise (i.e. even if the vehicle was not crashed), the airbag sensors must be replaced if they show signs of mechanical damage and/or if the airbag control unit detects that the airbag sensor is defective (use PIWIS Tester II 9818 to read out the fault memory).
