To fit


Warning

Check very carefully that there are definitely no objects between the airbag and the dashboard before fitting the airbag. All loose objects that are in the way of the airbag when it is triggered will be flung violently aside, constituting a direct threat to the lives of the occupants.



1. Fit the airbag. Check that there are no loose objects between the dashboard and the airbag. Tighten the six nuts securing the airbag to the dashboard.

Tightening torque: 9 Nm (6.6 lbf ft)
