Warning
|
|
When working on the SRS, the following points must be observed:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Work in the SRS system must only be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
|
|
•
|
All work must be carried out with the utmost care and as described in the relevant instructions. There is always a danger of injury if the work is not done in the prescribed manner.
|
|
•
|
Always make sure that the ignition switch is in the OFF position when changing any components.
|
|
•
|
The battery's ground cable must be disconnected before the positive cable. Wait at least 1 minute after disconnecting the battery before starting work on the airbag system.
|
|
•
|
Cables must not be repaired. The entire cable must be replaced. Cable terminals may not be changed.
|
|
•
|
Components forming part of the system must not be dismantled or repaired. Handle them with care and keep them in a dry place at room temperature.
|
|
•
|
Airbags must be stored at room temperature. At temperatures above +135°C there is a danger of self-detonation.
|
|
•
|
Airbags must be stored in a special area, away from storage areas for petroleum products or other inflammable materials.
|
|
•
|
Airbags must be stored with the metal casing facing downwards to avoid injury in the event of accidental triggering.
|
|
•
|
Wear goggles and protective gloves when removing an airbag that has been detonated. Put the airbag envelope in a tight-sealing plastic bag. Wash your hands in warm water and a mild soap solution after handling a triggered airbag.
|
|
•
|
Do not use grease, detergent or the like on the seat-belt tensioner.
|
|
•
|
The seat-belt tensioner must never be exposed to temperatures above +100°C.
|
|
•
|
Airbags and seat-belt tensioners are classed as pyrotechnical devices and should be stored and handled in accordance with the current laws and regulations governing these in each individual country.
|
|
•
|
Airbags and seat-belt tensioners must be fitted immediately after they have been fetched from the stores. If work is interrupted, the airbag or seat-belt tensioner must be returned to the stores and put away safely. Under no circumstances should an airbag or seat-belt tensioner be left unattended.
|
|
•
|
The seat-belt tensioners and airbags that have fallen on a hard surface must be replaced. Dropped or defective components must not be fitted.
