See separate information.
Warning
|
|
The following points must be followed unconditionally when working on
the airbag system:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
All work must take place in accordance with the instructions given
and carried out with caution. Risk of personal injury exists in the event
of incorrect handling.
|
|
•
|
Ear defenders must be worn when deploying the airbag and belt
tensioner.
|
|
•
|
The airbags should be kept at room temperature. At temperatures
above +115°C (239°F) there is a risk of self-deployment.
|
|
•
|
The belt tensioners should never be exposed to temperatures above
+100°C (212°F).
|
|
•
|
The airbags must be kept in a special area, separate from storage
areas for petroleum products or other inflammable materials.
|
|
•
|
Wear protective glasses and protective gloves when dismantling
deployed airbags. Place the airbag in a fully sealing plastic bag. Wash your
hands using a mild soap solution and lukewarm water after working with a deployed
airbag.
|
|
•
|
The airbags and belt tensioner are classified as pyrotechnic articles
and must be stored and handled in accordance with the laws and provisions
in each country.
|
|
•
|
The belt tensioner must not be treated with grease, cleaning agents
or similar.
|
The following tools should be used when scrapping
the seat
84 71 104 Cable with switch
86 12 921 Wiring harness, side airbag
86 12 434 Adapter cable, detonation device SRS
In order to prevent injury in connection with the scrapping of seats
with airbags and belt tensioners, undeployed pyrotechnical components must
be made unfit for use through electric detonation as described below before
the seat is scrapped. These safety measures are essential as the pyrotechnical
units can cause injury with non-professional handling.
|
Note
|
|
The detonation device used consists of an approximately 10 metre long
two-wire cable with push button and battery clips as well as a connector for
connection to the wiring harness. The wiring harness is replaced depending
on which of the airbag system"s components are to be scrapped. The battery
that the detonation device is connected to must be in good condition.
|
|
Warning
|
|
Pyrotechnical components to be deployed must be correctly assembled
in the seat. Check that there are no loose objects in the vicinity of the
components. Deployment of loose or unassembled airbag modules can cause personal
injury. The safety distance during deployment is 10 metres. The risk of accidents
exists if an undeployed pyrotechnical component is exposed to a high temperature,
for example, when scrapping or if charged parts start to burn or smoulder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
Scrapping must be performed either outdoors or in well ventilated
premises. Place the seat on its side with the airbag side facing upwards (outside
of the seat). The seat must be placed on a flat surface so that it is stable.

Place a battery 10 metres behind the seat. Connect the detonation
device to the battery.
|
|
9.
|
Check that no one is within the safety distance of 10 metres from
the seat. Stand behind the battery and press the switch. When the belt tensioner
is deployed a bang will be heard.
|
Warning

|
If the belt tensioner does not deploy on the first attempt, disconnect
the detonation device from the battery and examine the wires and battery thoroughly.
