WARNING: |
Accidental air bag deployment is possible. Personal
injury may result. Avoid area near steering wheel and instrument
panel even if air bags have deployed. Dual-stage air bag modules
may be present that could contain an undeployed stage. When disposing
of a deployed dual-stage air bag, always treat it as a |

1Visually inspect the airbag
control module and the acceleration/pressure sensors. If
the housing is damaged or there is a deformity in the area 20 cm
around the component, the component must be replaced.
2All pyrotechnic components that are recognizable
as deployed must be replaced including their fasteners.
3Pyrotechnic components that are visibly
deformed or damaged must be replaced.
4When side air bag deploys
5The buckle tongue must stay locked in the
seat belt latch when strongly pulling at it during a minimum of
five test cycles. The buckle tongue must eject from the seat belt
latch by pressing the seat belt latch button while the seat belt
is loose during a minimum of five test cycles. Otherwise replace
the complete seat belt and the seat belt latch
6If damage is found on the retaining components,
then the entire seat belt with the seat belt latch must be replaced.
If components of the seat belt system are removed due to an accident,
the seat belt system bolts must be replaced. Deformed or damaged
mounting points must be replaced. For damage found that is not accident-related,
for example, wear, only replace the part that is damaged.
