    → Wait 1 minute after disconnecting the battery.

    → Only pull off connector on the triggering unit after the waiting time has elapsed.

    → Make sure that no foreign objects are located in front of the airbag unit during installation.

    → Replace damaged parts during removal.

    → Always position airbag units so that the blow-out opening is facing upwards, e.g. crest on driver's airbag.

    → Do not place any objects on the airbag units.

    → If removed for an extended period, the airbag units must be stored in a safe place.

    → Airbag units must not come into contact with grease, oil, detergents, liquids or similar substances.
