  • System faults can occur. 
    1. Switch off ignition and keep transmitter key outside of the transmission range (at least 2 m).
    2. A voltage supply (e.g. battery charger) must not be connected to the external power supply/jump-lead starting terminals.
    3. Disconnect the battery and insulate the ground strap so that all contact with a ground carrier is avoided.
    4. Wait 1 minute after disconnecting the battery.
    5. Only pull off connector on the triggering unit after the waiting time has elapsed.
    6. Make sure that no foreign objects are located in front of the airbag unit during installation.
    7. Replace damaged parts during removal.
    8. Always position airbag units so that the blow-out opening is facing upwards, e.g. crest on driver's airbag.
    9. Do not place any objects on the airbag units.
    10. If removed for an extended period, the airbag units must be stored in a safe place.

    13. Do not remove the short-circuit spring on the plug contacts.
    14. Triggering and preparations may only be carried out by skilled staff, supervised by a second responsible person.
    15. Before disposal, the airbag unit must be rendered harmless by triggering it electrically while observing all precautionary measures, thereby preventing it from being used incorrectly.
