    → Switch off ignition and move remote control (hand-held transmitter) at least 2 metres away from the vehicle.

    → A voltage supply (e.g. battery charger) must not be connected to the external power supply/jump-lead starting terminals.

    → Disconnect the battery and insulate the ground strap so that all contact with a ground carrier is avoided.

    → 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.
