Head Curtain Airbag With Igniter, Removing And Installing: Installing
- Observe the safety precautions for pyrotechnical components. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- Always follow the head curtain airbag installation procedure.
- Before handling pyrotechnic components (for example, connecting a connector), the person handling it must "discharge static electricity". For example, this can be done by briefly touching the door striker.
-- First engage the head curtain airbag -4- at the rear in the mount on the body and push forward.
-- Engage the head curtain airbag at the front in the mount on the body.
-- Attach the head curtain airbag with the bolt -3-.
-- Starting from the gas generator and moving toward the front and rear, install the head curtain airbag clips until it clicks into place.
-- Check the clips by pulling on them and make sure they are completely engaged.
-- Connect the connector -1- on the head curtain airbag igniter.
-- Press in the connector lock -2-. This slides the connector all the way into the head curtain airbag igniter and simultaneously locks it.
-- Make sure the anti-rotation protection line is visible along the entire length and it is straight. This will ensure that the head curtain airbag is NOT twisted.
Further installation is the reverse order of removal.
The ignition must be on when connecting the battery. If pyrotechnic components (for example, airbag, belt tensioner) are not repaired correctly, they may deploy unintentionally after connecting battery. There must not be anyone in the vehicle interior when connecting the battery.
-- Connect the battery ground cable with the ignition switched on. Refer to BATTERY, DISCONNECTING AND CONNECTING .
If the ignition is not switched on after the battery is reconnected - "indicator lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up" - the ignition (key/button) may only be switched on when the driver seat is positioned all the way back.
If the Airbag Indicator Lamp -K75- indicates a fault, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
