Knee Airbag With Igniter, Removing And Installing: Installing
- Observe the safety precautions for pyrotechnical components SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH PYROTECHNIC COMPONENTS .
- 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.
- Observe the airbag allocation for the instrument panel. Refer to the Parts Information.
-- Connect the connector -1- to the airbag igniter -arrow A-.
-- Press in the connector lock -2- -arrow B-. While doing this, the connector is pushed into the airbag igniter and locks into place.
Further installation is performed in reverse order of removal, while noting the following:
Make sure the connectors are pushed in all the way and that they engage audibly.
Make sure the wires are not pinched.
The risk of damaging the knee airbag surface due to mechanical stress is to be prevented.
- After completing a procedure, perform a visual inspection to make sure that the surface of the knee airbag is not damaged.
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 after installing, check the DTC memory, erase it and check it again using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
