Warning and information labels
|
The car is equipped with a number of warning and information labels that state
that the car is equipped with an airbag system. The instructions should be followed for your
own personal safety.
|
1.
|
The letters "SRS"
(Supplementary Restraint System) are embossed on the steering wheel.
|
|
2.
|
A label is affixed to the contact roller (coil spring).
|
|
3.
|
A warning label is located on the side of the facia on the driver's side.
|
|
4.
|
A warning label is located on the side of the facia on the passenger
side.
|
|
5.
|
There is a warning text on the back of the steering wheel centre pad (airbag
module).
|
|
6.
|
There is a warning text on the side of the passenger airbag.
|
|
7.
|
The letters “SRS" are embossed on the upper section of the dashboard
on cars with a passenger airbag.

When welding, the negative battery lead should be disconnected and covered.
In connection with stove enamelling, the screw holes in the airbag control
module's mounting bracket should be covered with masking tape to ensure that the
control module's earth connection remains OK.
Electrical leads in the airbag system must not be spliced. Splicing can cause
malfunction in the system and can lead to personal injury or the system becoming
unserviceable.
When carrying out fault diagnosis you must not use an instrument with its own
power source like an ohmmeter, diode tester or buzzer
directly
on the driver airbag or the passenger airbag. Instead, disconnect the electrical connectors
from the airbags and the belt tensioners and connect each one to its reference resistor. Fault
diagnosis is described in greater detail under 853.
When conducting body work that involves impacts and vibration on the body, the
control module connector must be disconnected.

Work on the steering gear
|
During all work when the contact roller (coil spring) is fitted and the steering
column is not connected to the steering gear, the steering wheel must be locked to prevent it
from moving so that the basic setting of the contact roller will not be altered. If the contact
roller's basic setting is altered, the spiral conductor in the contact roller could easily
break when the steering wheel is turned to full lock.
