Work on cars equipped with airbag

All the Saab 9-5 model cars are fitted with an airbag system. Note the following when carrying out repairs on the bodywork:

• Read the section "Safety and handling instructions" in AIRBAG (SRS) before commencing.
• For work where the body may be subjected to bumps or blows, unplug the connection for the airbag system control module.
• When welding, remove and cover the battery negative lead.
• The screw hole for the control module and grounding points must be masked during painting to protect the ground connection.

  For detailed information on the airbag system, see AIRBAG (SRS) .
