Protective measures and rules of behavior

Assembly work must only be carried out by trained staff.

Carry out tests only using the diagnostic tester > 9818 - PIWIS Tester II ; do not use test lamps, voltmeters or ohmmeters. Avoid contact with grease, solvents, cleaning agents or liquids.

Do not expose to temperatures above 90°C.

Keep the deployment area of the blow-out opening clear; e.g. do not hang test devices over the steering wheel. When carrying the airbag, hold it with the blow-out opening facing away from the body. Set the airbag unit down with the blow-out opening facing upwards.

Electrostatic charge: Always wear appropriate work clothing and footwear.

Do not remove the short-circuit spring of the plug contacts.

An airbag unit must never be connected incorrectly to electric power sources (danger of ignition). Only use testers prescribed by the manufacturer.

During installation/removal or work on the vehicle involving vibrations: switch off ignition, disconnect and cover the negative terminal of the battery, wait 1 minute and only then should you disconnect the plug connection.

Transport: In transport packaging. Never in the passenger compartment!

Storage in the workshop: Max. 10 kg (=> 100 driver or 50 passenger airbags); protect against theft!

The airbag/seat-belt pretensioner unit must be installed immediately after removal from the transport container.

If work is interrupted, the airbag/seat-belt pretensioner unit must be stored in the transport container again.

Never leave the airbag/seat-belt pretensioner unit unattended.
